Regulated Suppliers

Your Regulated Supplier (or standard supplier) is the company that has historically supplied electricity or gas in your area and has the obligation to supply you with electricity or gas at regulated prices if you do not enter into a market contract.  The Regulated Suppliers (sometimes called Standard Retailers) are required to supply small customers in their area on regulated (standard) electricity or gas contracts if those customers have not taken up a market offer, or choose to return to their Regulated Supplier on a regulated contract.  IPART regulates the price of gas or electricity under regulated contracts taking into account the retailer's costs of buying and supplying gas or electricity in their area. 

Until recently there were 3 Regulated Suppliers for electricity in NSW:

  • Integral Energy - which covers the Western Sydney, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions
  • EnergyAustralia - which covers the Sydney, Central Coast and Hunter regions
  • Country Energy - which covers the remainder of NSW.

The retail parts of these businesses (the parts of the business that sells electricity to customers) were sold on 1 March 2011.  As a result of the sale 

  • EnergyAustralia  retail customers will be transferred to TRUenergy
  • Integral Energy retail customers will be transferred to Origin Energy
  • Country Energy retail customers will be transferred to Origin Energy

There are 4 Regulated Suppliers for gas in NSW:

  • AGL - which is the regulated supplier for most gas customers in NSW, including those in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Dubbo, Orange, Parkes, parts of the Riverina and NSW/Queensland border
  • Country Energy - which covers South Western regions of NSW including Wagga Wagga and Gundagai and inland cities such as Tamworth
  • Origin Energy - which covers the NSW and Victorian border, including Albury and the Murray Valley Towns
