Energy Security

Ensuring reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy for Australia and the region through more investment in gas supply and infrastructure. 

Energy Security: Reliable and affordable gas for Australia and the region 
 

Energy security is essential to Australia’s prosperity, ensuring homes, businesses, and critical services have reliable, affordable energy. Natural gas remains a critical, dispatchable energy source that supports the grid, complements renewable generation, and underpins economic growth. 

The Government’s Future Gas Strategy makes it clear that natural gas will remain critical to Australia’s energy security through to 2050 and beyond. 
 
Australian Energy Producers advocates for strategic investment in new gas supply and infrastructure to deliver more gas supply and investment to ensure Australian households and businesses have reliable and affordable energy. These measures strengthen energy reliability, reduce costs for households and businesses, and secure Australia’s role as a trusted energy partner in the Indo-Pacific region. 
 
Streamlined project approvals are key to unlocking new supply, addressing future demand, and restoring investor confidence. By combining innovation, industry expertise, and evidence-based policy, Australia can maintain energy security, support a cleaner energy transition, and safeguard national prosperity.
