When a multi-day wind drought exhausted South Australia's grid-scale batteries within hours in June, gas-powered generation stepped in to keep the system stable for the following four days.  

This is the reliability challenge that the recently released legislation to establish a Domestic Gas Reservation Scheme can help address, delivering more certainty to both producers and gas users.

In this Transmission energy insights piece, APA Group CEO Adam Watson outlines how a well-designed domestic gas reservation can support Australia's energy security and transition.

What happens when years of promise in the Beetaloo Basin finally become reality?

In this episode, APA Group CEO Adam Watson explores the historic commissioning of first gas through the Sturt Plateau Pipeline. How did APA's team deliver this critical 37-kilometre infrastructure over 100,000 work hours with zero injuries, all while working in deep collaboration with Traditional Owners, landholders, and the NT Government?

While this initial project is already underpinning energy security for the Territory, how will it unlock Australia’s broader energy future? We dive into the massive nation-building projects on the horizon, including the proposed 1,600-kilometre North to East Australia Pipeline (NEAP) and a potential new route to Darwin. Could connecting Beetaloo gas to our southern markets and Asian trading partners be the ultimate key to strengthening the economy and powering the energy transition over the coming decade?

Just a few years ago, the narrative around Australia's energy transition seemed perfectly straightforward: out with fossil fuels, in with renewables. But as the rollout accelerates across the country, a critical question is emerging: when the sun sets and the wind drops, what actually keeps the lights on?

In this APA Energy Explainer, we dive into the physical realities of powering a modern, industrialised society. The old "renewables versus gas" debate is a thing of the past. Today, gas is recognised as an essential partner to renewables, acting as a crucial safety net for the grid.

Join APA Group experts Terry Chapman, Nikki Weier, Dr. Gary Bryant, Dave Whatmough, and Matthew Forrest as they break down the core engineering challenges of the energy transition.

Ongoing government intervention in electricity and gas markets isn’t good for customers, isn’t good for energy prices and isn’t good for investors.

In this Transmission energy insights piece, Beth Griggs explains why one key problem should be the focus of governments in their ongoing reform of electricity and gas markets.

APA is investing approximately $500 million in our east coast gas network to address projected supply shortfalls and support Australian businesses. While the Federal Government’s Gas Market Review Final Report and the 2024 Future Gas Strategy provide essential investment signals, an effective domestic gas reservation scheme is still needed to ensure long-term energy security.

Following the successful Western Australian model, a well-designed east coast reservation will help deliver reliable and affordable domestic gas. This infrastructure expansion, including the Stage 3 East Coast Gas Grid Expansion, is critical to maintaining a stable economy as legacy southern fields decline.

APA Group CEO Adam Watson on the 2025 Gas Market Review and its role in solving Australia's energy crisis. APA is investing ~$500 million to expand east coast gas infrastructure and address supply shortfalls. This article highlights how a domestic gas reservation can lower prices, ensure energy independence, and support local industry. With enough gas in the ground to last for decades, these policy signals are key to securing Australia's energy future.
