Origin Energy Gas Plans
Origin is one of the biggest gas retailers in the country, supplying natural gas to homes across NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, plus LPG bottles nationally. Here is how Origin's gas plans, rates and supply charges actually stack up — benchmarked against published plan data, not a sales pitch.
Last updated: 28 June 2026
As of June 2026, Origin’s average residential gas usage rate is about 2.72c per MJ, with a daily supply charge of around 90c per day. A typical NSW household pays roughly $1,340 a year. Figures are indicative and based on tracked plans, not every Origin offer.
Gas figures are indicative benchmarks from published retailer plan data, assuming typical household gas usage. Natural gas has no federal default price, so these are not a reference offer. Actual bills vary by plan, usage, distribution zone and address.

How we calculate these estimates
Gas figures shown here are benchmark estimates from published retailer plan data, not retail quotes. Natural gas has no federal default price (no DMO or VDO — those apply to electricity only), so gas benchmarks are drawn from current published plans rather than a reference offer. Usage is billed in cents per megajoule (c/MJ) plus a daily supply charge. Your actual 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.
