APA : granted permit to survey potential North to East Australia Pipeline
About this update from Apa Group
APA CEO and Managing Director Adam Watson said the proposed NEA Pipeline is a potentially transformational project that will support energy security for households, businesses and industry on Australia's east coast, as well as for our regional partners through Australia's LNG export sector. "Beetaloo gas, delivered to southern markets via the NEA Pipeline, has the potential to ensure a reliable and affordable supply of Australian gas is available for the east coast, supporting Australian industry and households. Importantly, it will marry domestic gas supply with demand, and help avoid the need to import higher cost LNG from global markets to meet our domestic energy needs. "We know how critical gas is to our key manufacturing sectors and Beetaloo gas has the potential to support our industrial growth for decades to come. "APA will undertake a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process throughout the early works program and beyond. Meaningful community and Traditional Owner engagement is a key priority across all our projects and this project will be no different. "We take this opportunity to again acknowledge the NT Government's commitment to Australia's energy security and economic prosperity, by championing projects such as the Beetaloo Basin development and for ensuring policy can bring it to life."
