Description | The Australian Government has mandated that energy exporters must reserve 20% of their natural gas for the domestic market on the country's east coast to prevent supply shortfalls and reduce energy bills. This policy affects three LNG export projects operated by Origin Energy, Shell, and Santos. The scheme will apply from July 2027 and will not affect existing contracts. It aims to create a modest oversupply in the domestic market to lower energy prices and disconnect Australian gas prices from international price spikes. |
