Quick Answers 

What gas providers operate in Queensland? 

Several retailers offer natural gas plans to Queensland households, including Origin Energy, AGL Energy, EnergyAustralia, Alinta Energy and Red Energy, along with other providers depending on the area. Availability can vary based on your location and the local gas distribution network. To see which plans may be available at your address, you can use the Australian Energy Regulator’s free comparison tool, Energy Made Easy, or explore gas comparison services such as ElectricityProviders.com.au to review gas plans from a panel of retailers. 

Who are the gas distributors in Queensland? 

Gas distributors own and manage the pipelines that carry gas to your home. In Queensland, the two main distributors are Allgas Energy and Australian Gas Networks (AGN). In some areas, local councils — such as Roma Town Council and Dalby Town Council — operate the local gas distribution network. Distributors are separate from the retailer you pay your bill to. 

Is natural gas available everywhere in Queensland? 

No. Reticulated natural gas is not available in all parts of Queensland. It is most commonly available in South East Queensland and select regional areas. If you live outside a connected area, alternative energy sources such as LPG or electricity may apply. 

How do I compare gas plans in Queensland? 

To compare gas plans in Queensland, you can use the Australian Energy Regulator’s free comparison tool, Energy Made Easy, available at energymadeeasy.gov.au. This government-run platform lists gas plans from licensed retailers in your area and allows you to filter results based on your usage and compare rates side by side. You can also review available gas offers through gas comparison services such as ElectricityProviders.com.au, which displays plans from a panel of participating retailers.

Semantic entity: Allgas Energy and Australian Gas Networks are the two main gas distributors in Queensland, according to the AER.
