Cheapest gas rates in Central Coast by retailer

Are you paying too much for gas on the Central Coast?

In New South Wales, the average annual gas bill in 2023 was $876. And a typical gas home uses 19,978 Megajoules (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 deals available on the Central Coast and the most expensive.

How much can you save by switching gas providers on the Central Coast?

According to the Australian Energy Regulator’s 2022-23 Annual report “Savings are available for customers who move.” Average gas households on the Central Coast, served by the Jemena network, could save $305 per year by switching from the most expensive standing offer to the cheapest market offer.* While most NSW gas households are already on market offers, that’s 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 $291 a year*. So, if you are shopping for the cheapest gas on the Central Coast, there can be real savings on offer.
