Electricity Market Competition in SA

The Australian electricity market has been gradually deregulating since the late 1990s. The first step was to establish a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to customers in other states.

Another stage, which occurred earlier in some states than others, was the breaking up of state owned monopolies into several competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to produce more competition the market was separated into two levels

• Energy Distributors
  The distributors are responsible for the physical delivery of electricity to the customers' premises , and they own and maintain the powerlines and poles, and don't engage directly with customers.
• Energy Retailers Retailers are the ones who sell the electricity to the customers and manage the billing. Each state has between 1 and 3 distributors and up to 30 retailers.

On 1 July 2013 , South Australia 's energy market was fully deregulated. This meant that customers could change to the provider that had cheaper electricity prices.

South Australia has only one main electricity distributor
