APA’s investment in the Kurri Kurri Lateral Pipeline and Storage Project highlights our role in supporting the reliability and flexibility of Australia’s east coast energy system. The project involves the construction of a new high-pressure gas lateral pipeline and associated storage infrastructure to supply the Hunter Power Project in New South Wales, operated by Snowy Hydro.
This important development will deliver fast-start gas to support firming capacity in the National Electricity Market. It will play a critical role in enabling the transition to renewables by providing on-demand energy during periods of low solar and wind generation.
Throughout FY25, APA progressed construction safely and efficiently, with a strong focus on environmental management and stakeholder engagement. The project leverages APA’s deep experience in delivering complex pipeline infrastructure, as well as our track record of working in partnership with government, customers and local communities.
The Kurri Kurri project strengthens APA’s position in the East Coast Gas network and reinforces our commitment to delivering infrastructure that underpins energy reliability and supports the broader energy transition. It also highlights the importance of flexible gas infrastructure in meeting peak demand and maintaining system stability as Australia moves towards a lower carbon future.
