Jemena to reverse Eastern Gas Pipeline, enhancing gas supply to Victoria

Jemena reverses pipeline to enhance Victoria’s gas supply

Energy infrastructure company, Jemena, is planning to reverse the 797-kilometre Eastern Gas Pipeline (EGP) — potentially sending up to 300 TJ/d of gas south from New South Wales into Victoria.

The reversal project aims to make the EGP bi-directional, allowing it to deliver 200TJ/d south from Port Kembla Energy Terminal (PKET) — owned by Squadron Energy — by Winter 2026. With PKET over 90 per cent complete, it is Austr... more
