Are you paying too much for gas in Brisbane?
In SE Queensland, the average annual gas bill in 2023 was $756. And the typical gas home used 7,649 MJ each year. You should also know, that unlike electricity where regulations require energy providers to cap prices at a default offer, gas retailers are free to charge what they want. As a consequence, there is a significant gap between the cheapest gas plans available in Brisbane and the most expensive.
How much can you save by switching gas providers in Brisbane?
According to the Australian Energy Regulator’s 2022-23 Annual report “Savings are available for customers who move.” Average households in Brisbane served by the AGN gas network could save $179 per year by switching from the most expensive standing offer to the cheapest market offer*. Of course, around 60% of SE Queensland households with gas are already on market offers, but that is no guarantee they are on a good deal. Switching from the worst market offer to the very best gas deal would save as much as $154 a year*. So, if you are shopping for the cheapest gas in Brisbane, there can be real savings on offer.
