Australia’s gas industry has been warned the nation’s east coast could lack sufficient supplies for the rest of this freezing winter amid production disruptions, poor renewables output and soaring gas demand.
Aussies are being warned the nation's east coast could lack sufficient gas supplies for the freezing winter as lacklustre renewables output and production disruptions take their toll.
This warning comes as gas is used in Australia to supplement traditional energy during periods of peak demand. This was in part due to production disruptions at Longford, Victoria, as offshore maintenance at the plant will continue to constrain production capacity until July 1. “The high gas fired electricity generation demand is in part due to low wind and solar generation,” AEMO wrote.AEMO warned the situation could worsen if an unplanned event occurs which impacts either gas supply or demand.
An emergency meeting amongst major gas players has been called to address the dire situation, sources told The Australian.
