City Energy announced today that the gas tariff (before 9% GST) for households will decrease by 2.03 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), or 8.6%, from 23.48 cents per kWh to 21.45 cents per kWh for the period from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026, due to lower fuel cost compared with the previous quarter.
City Energy reviews gas tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). The fuel cost component of the gas tariff for each quarter is set using the average fuel prices in the first two and a half months in the preceding quarter. Global fuel prices have risen since September 2026 due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Should this persist, town gas tariffs are expected to increase for the next quarter.
The revised gas tariffs below have been approved by EMA:
| Tariff Category | Existing Tariff* | Revised Tariff* | Revised Tariff (with 9% GST) |
| General Tariff (cents/kWh) | 23.48 | 21.45 | 23.38 |
| Bulk Tariff A (cents/kWh) Minimum consumption 1,000 kWh of gas per month |
22.20 | 20.17 | 21.99 |
| Bulk Tariff B (cents/kWh) Minimum consumption 50,000 kWh of gas per month |
21.56 | 19.53 |
