Electricity competition is progressively being introduced to Tasmania as part of the State joining the National Electricity Market and many businesses can now choose their electricity retailer.

Starting with the largest users of electricity, access to licensed retailers and the wholesale electricity market is being made available through staged tranches. Four tranches of customers have become contestable since 1 July 2006. Each tranche has been determined by annual consumption and once eligible to participate you are known as a contestable customer.
