The cost and availability of gas is a critical issue for many NSW businesses. It’s an energy resource and manufacturing feedstock.

Gas is an important pillar in the state's transition towards a secure, affordable and low-emissions future. But it is more than just a bridging fuel, it is foundational to energy security, manufacturing strength and sovereign capability.
