A new report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has highlighted that Western Australia’s potential gas supply could exceed forecast domestic demand over the next ten years.
In the 2019 Western Australia Gas Statement of Opportunities, the AEMO noted that in the base-case scenario, supply capacity in Western Australia is expected to expand by 125.6 TJ/d by 2021, with the start of the Xyris expansion in 2020, and the second tranche of the Gorgon project in 2021.
