*Compare & Connect does not compare all plans in the market.Electricity Market Competition in Qld
Australia's electricity market has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process since the late 1990s. The first step of deregulation involved establishing a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered in another state.
Another stage, which happened sooner in some states than others, was the breaking up of state owned electricity monopolies into multiple competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to stimulate greater competition the market was divided into two levels
- Energy Distributors
The distributors have the responsibility for the physical delivery of electricity to the customers' premises , and they own and maintain the poles and powerlines, but do not deal directly with customers. - Energy Retailers Retailers sell the electricity to the customers and are responsible for billing. States have between 1 and 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.
On 1 July 2016 , the electricity market in South East Queensland was completely deregulated. This enabled customers to switch to whichever provider had cheaper electricity prices.
Two electricity distributors supply all of Queensland
- Energex
The Energex network supplies electricity to an area covering around 25,000 square kilometres in South East Queensland, which stretches from the NSW border in the south to Gympie in the north. This includes Brisbane, Logan, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Ipswich, Redlands and Moreton Bay. - Ergon Energy
Ergon Energy distributes electricity to Queensland including coastal and rural areas and also remote communities in outback Queensland and the Torres Strait.
Reduce your power bills with these electricity -saving tips
Here is a list of easy to implement tips to reduce how much you spend on electricity
- Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air blowing in or leaving through the gaps under doors or around windows by using gap seal tape and door snakes.
- Instead of turning on the heater, wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather (booties, jumper, beanie, warm socks).
- Turn off all your appliances at the power socket when they're not in use.
- Minimise use of the clothes dryer. Hang the clothes to dry outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Close the doors of rooms that you don't use, so that you just cool or heat a smaller area.
- Stop the hot sun from over-heating rooms by closing the blinds and curtains in rooms where the sun shines in.
- Reduce air conditioning use by opening the windows at night to let the house cool down, then closing them in the morning to keep the hot air out.
- Reduce your use of lights. Rely on natural light if possible, and replace old lights with LED lights.
