Cheapest gas rates in Melbourne

Are you paying too much for gas in Melbourne?

In Victoria, the average annual gas bill in 2023 was over $1,900. And a typical gas home uses 50,743 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 plans available in Melbourne and the most expensive.

How much can you save by switching gas providers in Melbourne?

According to the Australian Energy Regulator’s 2022-23 Annual report “Savings are available for customers who move.” Average households in Melbourne served by the AGN gas network could save a staggering $758 per year by switching from the most expensive standing offer to the cheapest market offer*. Of course, almost 90% of Victorian 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 $814 a year.* So, if you are shopping for the cheapest gas in Melbourne, there can be significant savings on offer.
