Gas in Western Australia
Natural gas is available in the Perth metropolitan area via the ATCO Gas distribution network. Alinta Energy is the primary gas retailer in WA, with limited competition from other providers. Gas usage in WA is lower than in Victoria but higher than in Queensland, with many Perth homes using gas for hot water and cooking.
Our take on gas in WA
Gas competition in WA is limited. Alinta Energy is the dominant retailer and your options for switching are fewer than in eastern states. The main opportunity is ensuring you are on the most competitive tariff from your current retailer and checking whether going all-electric (using Synergy's Midday Saver electricity tariff for hot water heating) would be cheaper overall.
