*Compare & Connect does not compare all plans in the market.Electricity Market Competition in Victoria
The Australian electricity market has been undergoing a process of deregulation since the late 1990s. The first stage was the establishing of a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be sold to customers in different states.
Another stage, which occurred sooner in some states, was the dividing up of the state owned monopolies into competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to produce a greater amount of competition the energy market was divided into two types of entities
- Energy Distributors
Distributors manage the delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the powerlines and poles, and don't engage directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and manage the billing. Every state has between one and three distributors, and up to 30 retailers.
On 1 July 2008 , the Victoria market was fully deregulated. This meant that, for the first time, consumers could change to a provider that had cheaper electricity prices.
Electricity in Victoria is provided by five distributors
- Citipower
Citipower supplies electricity throughout Melbourne City and inner suburbs. - Powercor Australia
Powercor delivers electricity to the western Victoria and western suburbs of Melbourne. - Jemena
Jemena distributes electricity to the northern and south-western suburbs of Melbourne. - United Energy Distribution
United Energy distributes electricity in the Mornington Peninsula and the southern suburbs of Melbourne. - Ausnet Services
AusNet Services provides electricity to the outer northern & eastern suburbs of Melbourne and to eastern Victoria.
Tips to reduce electricity usage to save on your bills
Here are some easily implemented ways for reducing how much you spend on electricity
- Minimise draughts. Prevent cold air or hot air entering or escaping via gaps under doors and around your windows through the use of gap seal tape and door snakes.
- Dress for the weather, rather than turn on the heater, (jumper, booties, warm socks, beanie).
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Don't use your clothes dryer as frequently. Instead, dry the clothes outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- Turn your appliances off at the power point when they're not in use.
- Stop the sun over-heating your house by closing curtains and blinds in the rooms that are exposed to the heat of direct sunlight.
- Close the doors to areas of the house that aren't in use, so you just heat or cool a smaller area.
- Minimise lighting through the use of as much natural light as possible.
- Minimise air conditioning usage by opening windows at night to allow the cooler air in, then shutting them each morning thus keeping hot air out.
