Electricity Market Competition and Deregulation in Melbourne
Ever since the late 1990s the Australia electricity market in has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process. The first step of deregulation was to establish an intra-state electricity network that allowed electricity produced in one state to be delivered to a different state.
The next step, which happened earlier in some states, was the dividing up of state owned electricity monopolies into several competing entities, then privatising them. In order to produce greater competition the market was split into two types of entities
Distributors look after the delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and maintain the poles and powerlines, but do not deal directly with customers.
The retailers do all the interacting with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. States have between one and three distributors but up to thirty retailers.
Melbourne 's electricity market was fully deregulated in July 2008 . This meant that customers could now switch to another provider that had the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips to lower electricity consumption to save on your bills
Here are some easy to implement ways to reduce your usage of electricity
- Instead of turning on the heater, put on warmer clothing (booties, jumper, warm socks, beanie).
- Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air entering or escaping via gaps under doors or around your windows by using gap seal tape and door snakes.
- Avoid using the clothes dryer. Instead, hang the clothes to dry outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- A hot water bottle can be used as a cheap replacement for an electric blanket.
- Turn appliances off at the power point when they're not in use.
- Prevent the hot sun over-heating your house by closing the blinds and curtains in the rooms where the sun shines in.
- Minimise air conditioning use by opening windows at night to let the cooler air in, and closing them each morning to keep hot air out.
- Reduce your use of lights. Use natural light more often.
- Close the doors to areas of your home that you don't use, so that you only heat or cool a smaller area.
