Reduced production in Bass Strait and pipeline capacity limits could lead to shortfall during extreme weather, energy market operator says

the Port Kembla Energy Terminal intended for Wollongong, would be pumping 500 terrajoules of gas a day by 2023 into domestic supply. That plant, part of Andrew Forrest’s Australian Industrial Energy group, now probably won’t be ready until the following year.

AGL, Australia’s biggest electricity producer, is expected to close the first of the four units at its Liddell 1,680-megawatt coal plant in the Hunter on Friday, underscoring that transition. The other three units are scheduled to close in April 2023. Aemo uses five scenarios to project demand use. Under the so-called “step change” track – considered by stakeholders to be the most likely – a gas shortfall would be “narrowly avoided” in 2023. That outcome assumes gas demand will drop as consumers shift quickly to electricity, particularly for heating, and improve energy efficiency.
