A fair gas contract as a challenge for the market is online
Energy Locals is excited to launch its new gas service in Victoria and New South Wales, offering both existing and new customers a cost-effective option for their gas needs. In addition to great prices, Energy Locals also offsets all customers’ carbon emissions as standard. With this move, we aim to challenge the market and offer consumers a fairer alternative with a trusted provider.
“Energy Locals was founded to shake up the energy industry, challenge the big guys and make energy fairer for Australian homes and businesses,” says Adrian Merrick, Founder of Energy Locals.”
“More than 75% of Australian households are supplied with gas by the three major suppliers*. It is clear that increased competition is essential to prevent consumers being charged more than necessary.”
“In recent months, gasoline prices have skyrocketed for retailers who are simultaneously posting record profits. This is happening during a cost of living crisis and it’s just not right.”
Merrick continues: “Choosing a gas supplier is often seen as a set-and-forget decision. But what many people don’t realise is that loyalty isn’t always rewarded. While other suppliers may offer competitive prices to attract new customers, they often fail to keep prices low for existing customers.”
“So if you’ve been with your gas supplier for a while, there’s a good chance you can save money by switching to Energy Locals.”
“Other providers often do not compensate their customers’ consumption or charge them an additional premium. We compensate 100% of our customers’ gas consumption as standard, thus eliminating the carbon footprint of their gas consumption.”
Respond to customer demand
As Finder Green Energy Retailer of the Year 2024 and 2023, Energy Locals has carefully considered its decision to include gas in its service offering. With gas becoming an indispensable part of the utility industry for the foreseeable future, feedback from loyal customers was clear: they wanted the convenience of purchasing both electricity and gas from a single supplier they trust.
“While we recognise that gas is not the long-term solution we are aiming for, the reality is that it remains an important part of many households’ energy needs for now,” says Merrick.
“Our customers have told us they are looking for more than just convenience – they want to support a provider whose values align with their own. They are tired of dealing with and spending their money on providers who may also be helping to maintain high energy prices that harm homes and businesses.”
“We are aware of the environmental limitations of gas, but right now it is a reality. As long as it is, with the right motivation we will make it work our way.”
How Energy Locals makes gas fairer for consumers:
“CO2 compensation: We offset 100% of our customers’ gas consumption, thereby eliminating the carbon footprint of their gas consumption.”
“Invest in cleaner alternatives with gas: Energy Locals recognises gas as a short-term solution and is committed to investing in cleaner alternatives and moving away from fossil fuels.”
“Honesty and transparency: Just like our electricity, there are no sneaky contracts or annoying exit fees, and prices only change once a year to ensure predictability and fairness.”
“Local support: If customers ever need help, they can rely on the award-winning support of the Melbourne-based Energy Locals team.”
With this new offering, Energy Locals continues its mission to provide Australians with fair, transparent and sustainable energy solutions they can trust.
