Understanding Business Gas Rates in Victoria

Gas pricing for businesses in Victoria involves several components, each of which can impact your overall energy spend. Understanding these factors is critical to making informed decisions that reduce costs and optimise your gas contracts.

Fixed Daily Supply Charges

These charges cover the cost of maintaining your connection to the gas network. In Victoria, gas supply charges can vary depending on the region and the infrastructure available. For example, businesses located in metropolitan Melbourne may face lower supply charges compared to those in rural Victoria, where access to gas pipelines is less robust.

Variable Usage Charges

Variable usage charges are based on how much gas your business consumes. These charges can fluctuate depending on whether you’re on a fixed-rate or variable-rate plan, and they’re subject to changes in the wholesale gas market. In Victoria, gas prices are often higher during winter months, especially in areas with high demand for heating.

Transportation and Distribution Tariffs

Unlike electricity, gas transportation tariffs in Victoria are influenced by local infrastructure and pipeline availability. Gas suppliers in regional Victoria may charge higher transportation fees due to the costs of moving gas from production to end users over longer distances. The structure of these charges can significantly affect your overall gas bill, especially if your business is located outside metropolitan Melbourne.

What’s the Difference Between a Gas Comparison Website and Choice Energy?

Using a Gas Comparison Website

  • Typically offers a narrow range of gas retailers, which may not cover all the available options in Victoria.
  • Requires you to input your business details and spend time selecting the best plan.
  • Often doesn’t provide insights into peak demand charges or the transportation tariffs specific to Victoria.
  • Lacks ongoing support, meaning you’re left to manage the renewal process on your own.

Gas Comparison with Choice Energy

  • We conduct a comprehensive review of your gas charges, including supply, usage, and transportation fees specific to your Victorian location.
  • We work with over a dozen top-tier gas suppliers to ensure competitive pricing.
  • Our brokers leverage our industry relationships to negotiate better deals on your behalf, taking into account the regional pricing structure in Victoria.
  • You’ll have a dedicated gas broker who works with you long-term to optimise your gas spend, reviewing your contract every year to ensure you’re always on the best plan.

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.”

— David Maillard, Financial Controller, Beaconsfield Home Timber & Hardware
