How Business Gas Pricing Works
Understand commercial gas rates, c/MJ, supply charges, and how to compare business gas plans.
Gas pricing components
Business gas bills typically include a usage charge (cents per megajoule, c/MJ) and a daily supply charge. Usage is metered in megajoules (MJ). High-use businesses — restaurants, manufacturing, hotels — pay more in usage charges.
Rates vary by retailer and location. Gas is available in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. Compare plans to find competitive rates for your business.
Key takeaways
- Compare c/MJ and daily supply charge
- Know your approximate annual MJ usage
- Check contract length and exit terms
