The first step of deregulation involved establishing an intra-state electricity grid that enabled electricity generated in one state to be delivered to a different state.

The next stage, which occurred sooner in some states than others, was the splitting up of state owned electricity monopolies into multiple competing entities and then privatising them. In order to promote a greater amount of competition the market was divided into two levels

The distributors manage the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and maintain the poles and powerlines, and do not deal with customers.

The electricity retailers sell the electricity to the customers and manage the billing. States have from one to three distributors but up to 30 retailers.

The Brisbane market was completely deregulated in July 2016 . This enabled customers to change to the provider that offered the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips for reducing electricity consumption and lower your bills

Here is a list of easy to implement tips for reducing your usage of electricity

• Eliminate draughts. Prevent cold air or hot air getting in or getting out through the gaps under doors or around windows by using gap seal tape and door snakes.
• 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.
• Dress for the weather, instead of turning on the heater (warm socks, jumper, booties, beanie).
• Use your clothes dryer less. Instead, dry the clothes outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
• Reduce your use of lights by using natural light where possible. Turn lights off when there's no on in the room.
• Stop the sun from over-heating your home by closing the blinds and curtains in the rooms into which the hot sun directly shines in.
• Close the doors to areas of your home that you aren't using, so you just heat or cool a smaller space.
• Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to allow the house cool down, then closing them in the morning thus keeping hot air out.
