The energy market regulator says Australian gas supply is under increasing strain, with projected shortfalls expected from this winter.

Gas energy supply shortfalls could hit consumers this winter.

The Australian Energy Market Operator warned of risks to gas supply in eastern states unless more production is set aside specifically for domestic use. "We've seen wholesale prices essentially be half of what they would have been and what was predicted at the time of the October budget. "The point of this report is not to make consumers worry or industry worry. Frankly, it's about providing a fact base," he said.

They've worked out that reduced supply equates to increased charges at the end user. Regardless of the monumental stock they have. The new post covid business model and it's being copied everywhere.

LOL, there is no shortage of gas produced in Australia, the issue is the amount retained for local use versus what is exported.

Australian Energy Regulator lodges new market offer price caps for electricityThe AER, which sets power prices and power price caps in NSW, South East Queensland and South Australia, plus Victoria’s Essential Services Commission, lodged their new default market offer price caps for electricity this morning. Sky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd looks at the price impact depending on where you live. Don’t understand the increases. Natural Gas and Oil now well below Russian invasion of Ukraine. Must be that stupid fucking renewable bullshit. I want to know how the regulator came up with an increase is justified when gas and coal are lower in cost than when Putin invaded Ukraine? Is someone in there blind?
