Crown Gas & Power uses market-reflective pricing rather than penalty rates. Their OOC rates track wholesale costs and change monthly, rather than being set artificially high to force customers into new contracts. However, competitive fixed-rate contracts still typically offer better value and price protection.

Yes! Even though Crown's OOC rates are more reasonable than penalty pricing from other suppliers, competitive fixed-rate contracts typically offer 10-20% savings plus price certainty. We can access wholesale rates and negotiate better terms than staying on variable OOC pricing.

Crown Gas & Power calculates standing charges individually for each supply point based on actual transmission, distribution and metering costs. This means charges reflect real network costs rather than standardised rates. Contact Crown directly for your specific standing charge rates.

Rates are reviewed monthly and can change mid-month if there are significant wholesale price movements. Standing charges are reviewed quarterly in January, April, July and December. This volatility is why fixed contracts often provide better budget certainty.

While Crown's OOC rates are more reasonable than penalty pricing, fixed contracts typically offer better value through wholesale rate access, price certainty, and protection from market volatility. The monthly rate changes with Crown's OOC pricing can lead to unexpected cost increases.

Our service is completely free to you. We're paid commission by energy suppliers, which is fully disclosed in your contract. We often access better wholesale rates than suppliers offer to direct customers, meaning you can get lower prices through us even with our commission included.
