Gas vs. Electricity Bills (Residential) - Victoria
| Energy Type | Average Annual Usage | Average Annual Cost (2023-24) |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 44,000 MJ (Medium home) | AUD $1,400 - $1,600 |
| Electricity | 4,000 kWh (Medium home) | AUD $1,000 - $1,200 |
| All-Electric | 6,000 kWh (Heating, etc.) | AUD $1,500 - $1,800 |
- Gas Bills: Gas usage for heating, hot water, and cooking in a typical medium-sized Victorian home ranges from 44,000 MJ annually. Households used to spend approximately $1,300 to $1,500 per year on gas.
- Electricity Bills: For households that rely solely on electricity (including electric heating), annual electricity usage can be higher, leading to bills between $1,500 and $1,800. However, for electricity-only homes without gas, this includes costs for heating, cooking, and appliances.
- Cost Trends: Gas costs have been increasing over recent years, with electricity becoming a more attractive option for many due to solar incentives and energy-efficient electric appliances like heat pumps and reverse cycle air conditioners.
