The electricity market in Australia's Eastern and Southern states has been undergoing a process of deregulation which began in the late 1990s. The first step involved establishing a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to customers in another state.
The next stage, which occurred sooner in some states than others, was the splitting up of state owned monopolies into multiple competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to promote a greater amount of competition the market was split into two levels
- Energy Distributors
The distributors manage the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and maintain the powerlines and poles, but do not deal directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The electricity retailers sell the electricity to the customers and manage the billing. Each state has between 1 and 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.
The Victoria market was fully deregulated on 1 July 2008 . This allowed customers to switch to the provider that offered the cheapest electricity prices.
Electricity in Victoria is supplied by the following distributors
- Ausnet Services
AusNet Services distributes electricity to the eastern outer & northern suburbs of Melbourne and eastern Victoria. - Citipower

Save money with these electricity -saving tips
Here are some easy to implement tips to reduce your expenditure on electricity
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Turn off your appliances at the power point when you're not using them.
- Eliminate draughts. Prevent cold air or hot air getting in or getting out via gaps under doors or around windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Reduce use of the clothes dryer. Instead, dry the clothes outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- Instead of turning on the heater, dress for the weather (warm socks, jumper, booties, beanie).
- Use less lighting. Rely on natural light if possible.
- Stop the sun from over-heating your home by closing blinds and curtains in rooms that are exposed to the heat of direct sunlight.
- Close the doors to rooms that you don't use, so you just heat or cool a smaller space.
- Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to allow the house cool down, and closing them in the morning to keep the hot air out.
