How a gas bill is calculated
Usage is billed in cents per megajoule (c/MJ) plus a daily supply charge. Your bill depends on your plan, usage, distribution zone and address. Always review plan details, fees and conditions before switching. Our methodology
How we make money
We track plans from retailers using public Consumer Data Right data. That is how we can publish the cheapest plan in your zone even when it is not one we can sign you up to. Switching through EnergyPlans is handled by our commercial partner, whose panel is smaller than the market we track, and we are paid a commission when you switch. The cheapest plan we publish may not be available through us, and you can always go direct to the retailer. The Australian Government’s free comparison sites, Energy Made Easy and Victorian Energy Compare, list every plan available in your area.
