Expansion projects

Sydney to Hunter Valley extension

In September 2020, Jemena announced plans to extend the EGP by approximately 185 kilometers from Sydney to the Hunter Valley, with the intention of connecting the valley to existing domestic gas fields as well as to two proposed LNG import terminals, Port Kembla FSRU and the Newcastle LNG Terminal. Jemena said that it expects to take a final investment decision on the AU$400 million expansion project by the end of 2021, with first gas to flow as early as 2023. The company has been working on pipeline route options in the Hunter Valley and said it was preparing to commence community and stakeholder engagement.[5]

The expansion would run from Sydney, New South Wales north to the Hunter Valley, ultimately supplying gas to a gas-fired generator north of Tomago, New South Wales, and to a proposed plant at Kurri Kurri, New South Wales, in the Hunter Valley.[6]

This expansion project was mentioned in the 2021 Australian National Gas Infrastructure Plan, as part of necessary infrastructure for unlocking Gunnedah Basin gas resources.[7]
