How to read a gas plan
- Supply charge
- A fixed amount for each day you're connected, whatever you use. It differs between gas distribution zones in the same state.
- Usage charge
- Cents for each megajoule (MJ) of gas. Many plans charge in steps: a higher rate for the first block of gas each day or quarter and a lower rate after it, so heavy users pay less per MJ on average.
- Discounts and fees
- Some discounts only apply if you pay on time or by direct debit, and some plans charge a fee to leave early. Prices published under the Consumer Data Right usually exclude GST, which adds 10% to the bill.
