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 Canberra and the most expensive.How much can you save by switching gas providers in Canberra?
According to the Australia Energy Regulator’s 2020 report, “customers who engage in the market can still benefit by switching regularly.” Their data shows that average households in Canberra and the ACT could save $328 on gas per year by switching from the most expensive standing offer to the cheapest market offer*. Of course, around half of ACT gas households 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 $164 a year*. So, if you are shopping for the cheapest gas in Canberra, there can be real savings on offer.*Source: AER State of the Energy Market 2020 report data set. Retail Energy Markets.XLSX Figure 6.15.
