The Northern Territory is home to world-class gas resources, perfectly positioned to meet Australia’s growing need for affordable, reliable, and low-emissions energy.
The Beetaloo Sub-basin has enough gas to meet Australia’s energy needs for the next 200 years, providing critical energy security for the east coast as domestic gas shortfalls are forecast to impact electricity generation from 2028.
This builds on a long history of onshore development in the Territory, with the Amadeus Basin near Alice Springs producing gas since the 1980s and continuing to supply energy to the Territory and the nation today.
By developing our domestic gas resources, we create local jobs, generate royalties, grow service and supply chain industries, and ensure energy is produced under a responsible regulatory framework.
The Northern Territory Government is determined to deliver the full potential of our gas resources and provide energy security and generational economic prosperity for Territorians.
Australia doesn’t need to look offshore for energy security.
We have the gas we need, right here at home.
Energy you can trust. Energy from the Northern Territory.
