The electricity market in Australia has been undergoing a process of deregulation since the late 1990s. The first stage involved establishing a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be sold to customers in another state.

The next step, which occurred earlier in some states than others, was the dividing up of the state owned monopolies into multiple competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to create a greater amount of competition the energy market was split into two levels

• Energy Distributors
  The distributors are responsible for delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and manage the powerlines and poles, but do not deal directly with customers.
• Energy Retailers The retailers are the ones who sell the electricity to the customers and manage the billing. Every state has between 1 and 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.

The South Australia market was completely deregulated on 1 July 2013 . This allowed consumers to switch to the provider who had the cheapest electricity prices.

• Turn off all appliances at the power point when they're not in use.
• Minimise the use of air conditioning by opening windows at night to allow the cool air in, and shutting them in the morning to keep hot air out.
• Close doors to rooms that you don't use, so that you only have to heat or cool a smaller space.
