APA Group has reached an agreement on a new gas transportation service with Senex Energy for the delivery of gas through APA’s Wallumbilla Gas Hub, South West Queensland Pipeline and Carpentaria Gas Pipeline to APA’s Diamantina Power Station in Mount Isa.

APA said the gas transportation service, which will commence on 1 January 2022, reinforces the company’s critical role through its Diamantina Power Station in delivering cost-effective, safe and reliable power generation for the Mount Isa region.

“Consistent with our customer promise, we aim to ensure we deliver our customers the services that they value and we are therefore delighted to reach this agreement with Senex Energy,” said APA CEO and Managing Director, Rob Wheals.

“We are very pleased to build another strong relationship that supports our customers, the Mount Isa region and the North West Minerals Province of Queensland.”

“As always, we will continue to work with our customers to support their requirements, consistent with APA’s purpose to strengthen communities through responsible energy.”

APA said the new gas transportation service and the supply arrangements announced by Senex Energy will ensure that it continues to deliver reliable power to APA’s existing customer, New Century Resources Limited, at Diamantina Power Station.

“Our new transportation service with Senex Energy further underpins the economic activity and jobs for this minerals rich region of Queensland,” Mr Wheals commented.

“We are proud to be providing our customers and the community with flexible energy solutions.”
