Deregulation – the details and facts

Deregulation of the electricity supply and retail industry opened up new opportunities for electricity providers in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and other Australian states. The result is fierce competition between electricity retailers, and a financial windfall for cheaper electricity customers.

Independent electricity retailers purchase energy from large electricity powerhouse providers before on-selling the electricity to consumers. Electricity retailers are responsible for your connection to the grid and management of your billing account, along with the price you pay for your power. GoSwitch will investigate all this and much more on your behalf, such as:

• The GST component

• Direct debit payment schedules
