Retail

Origin is Australia's largest gas and electricity retailers, supplying energy to more than 4.5 million customers in Australia. Our diverse product and service offerings include electricity, natural gas, LPG and a variety of energy-related products and services.

Natural gas

Origin provides natural gas mostly to customers in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. Natural gas for our retailing operation is sourced under long-term contracts from other producers and from our own gas resources. This diversity of supply gives us the ability to procure gas for our customers at a competitive price and reliable supply.

LPG

We are a retailer of LPG in all Australian states and territories. We are also a LPG wholesaler and own and operate seven seaboard terminals on the Australian east coast. The infrastructure and location advantage of these sites provides a competitive supply and underpins Origin's LPG retail sales.

We also retail automotive LPG through more than 800 service stations throughout Australia.

Origin is also the major supplier of LPG in the Pacific, to countries including Papua New Guinea, The Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, Samoa, America Samoa and the Cook Islands.

Electricity

Origin supplies electricity to customers that are mainly in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales.

Origin also serves business customers nationally who have been given a choice of electricity retailer.

Trading

We also have an electricity trading function, which buys and sells electricity on the spot market or the National Electricity Market (NEM). Origin’s trading function buys hedge contracts and enters into wholesale volume arrangements, which helps protect the company and our customers from the volatility of the spot market.
