Description
Description | The federal government of Australia is finalizing a gas reservation scheme for the east coast that would require energy exporters to set aside a portion of gas for domestic use. This policy aims to address looming gas shortages and high prices on the east coast by ensuring sufficient gas supply for Australian consumers and industries. The scheme is inspired by a similar policy implemented in Western Australia in 2006, which mandates exporters to reserve 15% of their gas production for the local market. The government plans to announce the policy by Christmas 2025, with design work to begin in the new year. |
