What are green energy gas plans and are they any cheaper?

Green energy gas plans are gas energy plans that prioritise environmental sustainability by utilising renewable or carbon-neutral gas sources. These plans aim to promote cleaner energy alternatives. Green gas plans work by sourcing gas from renewable sources or offsetting carbon emissions associated with fossil fuel gas usage. They don’t tend to be cheaper than a standard gas plan, but they may help to reduce carbon emissions.

What is the difference between natural gas and LPG gas?

Natural gas and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) are two distinctly different types of gases, although both can be used for similar purposes such as cooking, heating and hot water. Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane and is extracted from underground reserves. It's often supplied through pipelines and distributed to homes and businesses via the mains gas network. LPG gas : LPG is a blend of propane and butane gases. It's derived from natural gas processing and petroleum refining. LPG is stored in pressurised cylinders or tanks and is commonly used in areas where there is no access to the mains gas network.

Will I experience any interruption to supply when switching gas retailers?

No – switching to another, cheaper gas plan typically does not cause any disruptions to your gas supply. The transition process is usually seamless and your gas service will continue uninterrupted.

Can I bundle my gas plan with other utilities to save more money?

Yes – bundling your gas plan with other utilities like electricity or even your internet services can often lead to additional savings. Many providers offer bundled packages that provide discounts when you combine multiple services.

Can Aussies in every state choose to swap their gas providers?

No – while most of the southern and eastern states have multiple gas providers to choose from, there are exceptions. For example, in the Northern Territory , there is no mains natural gas available, which means residents do not have the option to switch natural gas providers. However, NT residents do have a choice of LPG gas providers. In Western Australia, the choice of gas providers is also very limited, and some customers may have only one available provider in their area.
