What are the differences between Electricity Distributors and Electricity Retailers?
Distributors own and manage the poles and wires that deliver electricity to your home. There are five electricity distributors licensed to deliver electricity to consumers through their networks. Each is responsible for a geographic region of Victoria. Electricity retailers buy the electricity from generators and sell it to you. Retailers will have various plans and services to meet your needs. They bill you and generally manage your relationship with the rest of the electricity industry on your behalf.
