  • Carbon Neutral Natural Gas

    Carbon neutral natural gas is already available from some gas retailers. Talk to your retailer today.

  • Natural Gas is Cost Effective

    In WA, gas is delivered to a home at around half the cost of grid based electricity on a per c/kWh basis.*

  • Natural Gas is reliable

    Natural gas appliances can still work during a power outage and gas outages are rare.

Contact a gas retailer to get connected

 

The first step in getting connected to the gas network is to contact a gas retailer. ATCO are not a gas retailer, we own and operate the gas network, ensuring safe, reliable and affordable natural gas is delivered to your home or business. We do not sell natural gas like a gas retailer. ATCO are only one part of the gas supply chain which includes 'Production', 'Transmission pipelines', 'Distribution pipelines' (this is where ATCO come in) and 'Retail'. A list of gas retailers with contact information can be found below.
