The Australian Government has decided not to activate the mechanism to acquire additional quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for 3Q 2025 as it feels confident that the current volumes are sufficient to cover the forecasted demand.
Based on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) Gas inquiry March 2025 interim report and the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) 2025 Gas statement of opportunities , Australia’s Minister for Resources, Madeleine King , has determined that a domestic gas shortfall from July to September 2025 is not likely.
