Rising energy prices are putting increasing pressure on businesses, and gas is no exception. For many businesses, gas costs are heavily influenced by contract structure, demand fluctuations, and the complexities of transportation and distribution charges. Securing the best gas rates requires expertise and a deep understanding of how the gas market operates, including seasonal peaks, wholesale volatility, and tariffs that vary by region.

At Choice Energy, we cut through the complexity of business gas pricing. Our expert brokers analyse your gas usage, compare plans from leading gas retailers, and negotiate the best deal, helping you save money while avoiding unexpected price hikes and fluctuating supply costs.

Understanding Business Gas Rates

Gas pricing for businesses involves several components, each of which can impact your bottom line in different ways. Understanding these components is critical to making informed decisions that will reduce your overall energy spend.

Fixed Daily Supply Charges

These charges are associated with maintaining your connection to the gas network. Unlike electricity, gas supply charges can vary depending on the geographic location of your business, the type of infrastructure available, and the retailer you choose. These charges remain constant regardless of usage, so it’s essential to review these annually to ensure they’re competitive.

Variable Usage Charges

Variable usage charges are based on the amount of gas your business consumes. These charges can differ widely depending on whether you’re on a fixed-rate or variable-rate plan, and they’re often affected by the fluctuations in the wholesale gas market. As gas prices rise and fall, it’s critical to have a plan that can absorb or capitalise on these shifts.

Transportation and Distribution Tariffs

Unlike electricity, gas transportation tariffs (the cost of moving gas from production to your business) can vary dramatically based on location, pipeline access, and the distances involved. The structure of these charges can have a major impact on your overall bill, especially for businesses in regions with limited access to pipelines or where transportation infrastructure is constrained.

  • Typically offers a narrow range of gas retailers, often without full market coverage.
  • Requires time and effort on your part to input business details and select the best plan.
  • May not provide insights into peak demand charges or transportation tariffs.
  • Lacks ongoing support and negotiation power to optimise gas plans annually.

  • We conduct a comprehensive review of your gas charges.
  • We work with over a dozen top-tier gas suppliers.
  • We handle all negotiations, leveraging our industry relationships to secure better deals and manage gas price volatility.

TESTIMONIAL

“At a time when everyone could use a little help to save a dollar, Choice Energy helped our business find a new energy retailer at the same cost, without incurring the annual increase proposed by our old energy retailer.

Included was independent metering to be able to verify bills easily and the process also helped us get a demand reset as part of a solution that delivers our business a saving of over $20,000.

These guys can handle everything… Great job Choice Energy.”

Business Gas Comparison FAQs

Why should I compare my business gas plan regularly?

Gas prices fluctuate, and changes to transportation tariffs or peak demand can affect your bill. By reviewing your plan annually, you ensure you’re always on the most competitive deal.

How can a gas broker save me money?

A gas broker reviews your usage, compares offers from multiple suppliers, and secures the most competitive rates. They also negotiate demand charges and tariff structures to minimise costs.

What’s the difference between a gas broker and a gas supplier?

A broker works on your behalf to find the best deal by comparing offers from multiple suppliers. A supplier is the company that provides and bills for the gas.
