Electricity in Tasmania
Tasmania has a single distribution network — TasNetworks — covering the entire state. Tasmania benefits from abundant hydroelectric generation, which contributes to some of the lowest average electricity bills in Australia at approximately $1,370 per year. Aurora Energy is the dominant retailer, but a small number of competitors (including 1st Energy) offer alternative plans.
With only 3 retailers actively competing, Tasmania's retail market is less competitive than mainland NEM states. However, the low base cost of electricity means that even modest savings through switching — up to $109 per year — can still be worthwhile. Tasmania is connected to the mainland via the Basslink interconnector, which allows energy trading with Victoria.
