Transmission

If Australia has abundant natural gas reserves, why are we considering importing LNG? In this Transmission piece, Beth Griggs, Group Executive Strategy and Corporate Development at APA Group, breaks down the implications for businesses, consumers and our energy security.

Basslink is the last unregulated interconnector in the national electricity market - what does it mean for energy costs in Victoria and Tasmania if it stays that way?

Australia's energy security is a growing concern, and with coal power stations aging the risk of blackouts is increasing. Gas offers a reliable solution to bridge the gap between renewable energy sources and ensure a stable energy supply. This article was originally published in the Herald Sun on 5 December 2024.

Zero carbon electrons, produced primarily through wind and solar power, are increasingly helping consumers decarbonise their electricity use across Australia’s electricity markets. It is easy to forget that many energy users, such as manufacturing, mining and long-haul transport (i.e. aviation, trucking, and shipping) simply cannot rely on zero carbon electrons to meet their long

If Australia is to meet its emissions reduction targets, the retirement of coal power stations is one of the biggest steps we can undertake. Unless we have reliable, long duration sources of energy to replace coal, base-load generation, governments will keep coal open for longer than necessary, which will also delay the further deployment of renewables. In an energy system that wil

Reaching our net zero targets will require significant investment and innovation across all sectors of the Australian economy.

Without new gas supply, Australia’s energy security and renewable energy targets are at risk. Australia’s energy priorities are clear and make sense. We need to accelerate the removal of coal, accelerate the introduction of renewables, and support these renewables with electricity transmission, energy storage and gas. The often-difficult conversation to have, is about the criti

With coal power in Australia nearing its end, transitioning to greener forms of energy and meeting our net zero ambitions will require us to use every tool in our energy toolbox. With a diverse $26 billion portfolio of energy infrastructure assets spread right across the country, APA is uniquely positioned to understand the challenges in decarbonising Australia’s energy system.
