The Clean Energy Future Legislation

There will be no separate carbon price on bills for Origin LPG customers. It will be included in your bundled price.

As the price on the carbon in LPG is set by the Federal Government under Excise, Customs and Fuel Tax Legislation, the Australian Taxation Office is best placed to advise you of the current rates. LPG suppliers also incur other supply chain costs as a result of the carbon price scheme.

Electricity, natural gas and non-transport use LPG are all covered under the Clean Energy Future Legislation. Each energy product has a different carbon exposure and operates in different market structures. This means the impact of the carbon price mechanisms on your charges will be different for each energy type.

Yes. Green LPG customers will also have the impact of the carbon scheme included in their LPG price from 1 July 2012. This is because all non-transport use LPG is subject to the price set by the Federal Government on the carbon in LPG, and the increased costs incurred in the LPG supply chain as a result of the introduction of a carbon price to the Australian market.

When we supply Green LPG we offset the carbon associated with your LPG consumption, which is why you pay an additional amount for Green LPG.  However, the carbon scheme will still impact the cost and price of the LPG supplied to you. 

The carbon scheme is part of a long term plan to reduce carbon pollution in Australia - purchasing Green LPG is an easy way to reduce the impact of your emissions.
