Port Kembla Energy Terminal ready to supply gas to Australia’s eastern states

Squadron Energy’s Port Kembla Energy Terminal (PKET) - Australia’s first LNG import terminal has completed construction.

Commissioning of the onshore receiving facility is now underway, which ensures the functionality of all equipment at the import terminal including the control system, marine loading arms and fire system.

Squadron Energy Executive General Manager, Operations Stuart Davis said completing construction on PKET was a significant milestone and a testament to the hard work and commitment of the many teams working together to deliver this significant project.

“This is a huge achievement for our team and a significant milestone - PKET is the only solution capable of resolving Australia’s looming domestic gas shortage by guaranteeing supply,” Mr Davis said.

“The terminal is now getting ready to support domestic gas supply, without the need for new gas fields in Australia, which will be critical as we transition to renewable energy.

“It will address NSW and Victoria’s electricity challenges by providing gas for peaking power generation, ensuring reliability and stability in the energy market.”
