Australia is creating a Domestic Gas Reservation Scheme, expected to start in 2027. It's a scheme that will require exporters of Australian gas to reserve between 15% and 25% of gas for the domestic market. This increases the supply of domestic gas, putting downward pressure gas prices for families and small businesses. It ensures Australia's natural resources are used in the national interest, while supporting our transition to renewable energy.
This helps with fairness, sovereignty, future made in Australia, net zero transition, and structural reform.
"More affordable Australian gas for Australian users will support our economy and our transition, while remaining a reliable energy partner to our region." - The Hon. Chris Bowen, Minister for Climate Change and Energy
