Rising gas pricing and energy costs are putting increasing pressure on small businesses and large enterprises alike, and gas is no exception. For many customers, gas charges are heavily influenced by contract structure, energy usage fluctuations, and the complexities of the gas network. Securing the best gas rates requires expertise and a deep understanding of how the gas market operates, including seasonal peaks, wholesale variable volatility, and gas rates that vary by region.

Fixed Daily Supply Charges
These supply charges are associated with maintaining your connection to the gas network. Unlike electricity, gas supply charges can vary depending on the distribution area of your business, the type of infrastructure available, and the retailer you choose. These supply charges remain constant regardless of energy usage, so it’s essential to compare plans annually to ensure you have the right plan.
Variable Usage Charges
Variable usage rate charges are based on the amount of natural gas your business consumes. These gas charges can differ based on whether you’re on a fixed-rate or variable plan, and they’re often affected by fluctuations in the wholesale market. Often, an energy retailer will implement block usage rates, where the usage rate changes once you exceed a certain threshold within a billing period. As gas rates rise, it’s critical to have an energy plan strategy that can absorb these shifts.
Transportation and Distribution Tariffs
Unlike electricity, gas network transportation tariffs can vary dramatically. Whether you are on the Jemena gas network or another gas network provider, the structure of these costs has a major impact on your bill. In areas like South Australia or South Wales, the costs of moving natural gas from production to your business depend heavily on pipeline access.

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.”

Why should I compare my business gas plan regularly?
You should regularly compare your business gas rates because they fluctuate. By having an energy broker compare your standing offer plan against other plans, you ensure you stay on the best deal and avoid unnecessary exit fees or additional fees.
How can a gas broker save me money?
A gas broker reviews your energy usage, compares the Australian Energy Regulator benchmarks, and secures competitive gas rates. They negotiate supply charges and usage rate blocks to save money for your business.
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.
