Cheapest gas rates in Melbourne

Last Updated on March 11, 2025 by David Hiley

Are you paying too much for gas in Melbourne?

In Victoria, almost 90% of households have a gas connection. For a typical gas home using 50,743 Megajoules (MJ) each year, this could mean a gas bill of more than $1,900 annually. 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?

Average households in Melbourne served by the AGN gas network could save a staggering $611 per year by switching from the standard offer to the cheapest market offer, according to the Australian Energy Regulator.* So, if you are shopping for the cheapest gas in Melbourne, there can be significant savings on offer.
