Australia’s 4.5 million gas customers face unnecessary supply uncertainty due to  unclear development arrangements for the development of unconventional gas resources, the Energy Networks Association (ENA)said today.

Responding to the release of the Victorian Parliaments Inquiry into onshore unconventional gas in Victoria Energy Networks Association CEO John Bradley said that is vital that unnecessary barriers to supply gas to the Australian domestic gas market are removed.

“Australian gas customers and Australian jobs depend on gas resources being developed in a timely way under robust regulatory frameworks,” Mr Bradley said.
