Overview
We are seeking responses to an issues paper on the security of Australia’s domestic gas markets.
Australia is facing challenges to the security of its domestic gas supply, specifically in the east coast gas market. The Australian Government expects a shortfall of gas in the east coast market in 2023.
A domestic gas supply shortfall could have serious consequences for Australians. Australians rely on gas for residential heating and cooking. Australian industry and manufacturers rely on gas as feedstock and for energy. Insufficient gas supply could impact the stable operation of Australia’s electricity network.
We are seeking insights on options to strengthen domestic gas supply.
