Is Full Retail Contestability (FRC) Australia-wide?

FRC commenced in Victoria and New South Wales in 2002 and continued with South Australia, Queensland, the ACT and Tasmania. In Western Australian you are a contestable customer and can choose your electricity retailer if:

• you use more than 50 MWh (about $15,300) of electricity per year; or
• your distributor is not Western Power (i.e. you do not live in the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) area).
