Reporting timetable29 Apr 2020
On 19 April 2017 the Australian Government directed the 糖心原创 to conduct a wide-ranging inquiry into the supply of and demand for natural gas in Australia. The 糖心原创 is required to submit interim reports no less frequently than every six months and provide information to the market as appropriate. On 25 July 2019 the inquiry was extended, with a final report due 30 December 2025.
From 2017 until 2019, the 糖心原创 released three interim reports each year. For the remainder of the inquiry, the 糖心原创 will release two interim reports each year. The 糖心原创 expects these reports to be released in June and December. The following topics will be reported on:
- gas prices
- supply and demand balance
- user experience
- transport prices.
In addition to these regular topics, the inquiry will undertake analysis into a number of other areas of interest. Examples of potential topics include:
- issues related to pipeline and storage facilities
- retailer pricing, costs and revenues
- reserves and resources
- key factors influencing domestic gas prices.
