Is price everything?
When price is your main concern, the best plan will be one where you pay the least for usage and supply of your natural gas. Rates that are only low due to discounts and promotional deals usually expire after a period of time, leaving you with high prices afterwards.
There are two main discount types:
- Guaranteed discounts. This will always apply to your bill as long as it hasn't expired.
- Conditional discounts. You must meet a condition to enjoy this discount. For example, a pay on time discount will be removed if you're late with your payment, potentially leaving you with much higher rates in the aftermath.
What rebates can I get in QLD for gas?
An energy rebate will refund some of your energy bill if you qualify. These are some of the current rebates for gas in Queensland:
- Reticulated Natural Gas Rebate. A natural gas rebate for eligible concession card holders.
- Home Energy Emergency Assistance Scheme. One-off concession for those facing financial difficulty due to an emergency or short-term financial crisis.
- Concessions for owners of multi-unit buildings/residential communities. For owners who are supplying electricity or natural gas to pensioners, veterans or other eligible concession card holders.
See our rebate page for more information on rebates and concessions.
How do you get a connection?
If you are renting or moving into a house with a natural gas connection, you can get yourself activated in two ways:
Let your landlord or agent handle it.
Discuss the details and let your landlord handle the natural gas connection. In most cases, the landlord would be responsible for the property energy account when you are renting.
Compare online.
Use the Energy Plan Finder to compare gas providers and find a gas plan that works for you.
Do you have a choice of gas provider?
This depends on where you live. Residents of South East Queensland have full control over their electricity and gas providers, and they can choose from whatever plans are available. Customers in the rest of Queensland must buy gas from the state distributor.
Additionally, if you live in SE Queensland but are part of an embedded gas network where the property owner buys gas and resells it to tenants, you may not be able to choose your gas retailer. You may also not be able to appeal to the Energy Ombudsman if you aren't treated fairly, depending on your situation, although you should be allowed to install a meter if you wish.
