Synergy takes first shipment of long term gas supplies from Gorgon project
Western Australia’s first choice energy supplier, Synergy, has welcomed the commencement of domestic natural gas supplies from the Chevron Australia operated Gorgon project.
Synergy chief executive officer, Jason Waters, said taking delivery of domestic gas from one of the largest natural gas projects in Australia was a significant step in Synergy’s future and provides energy security for its more than one million commercial and residential customers.
“The ongoing supply of gas from the Gorgon project will ensure Synergy continues its role as the major electricity supplier in the South West Interconnected System (SWIS),” Mr Waters said.
“Natural gas will continue to play an important role in servicing Synergy’s customers’ needs and underpin the reliable supply of electricity to the south west of WA in the future, particularly as the business transitions to cleaner forms of generation.
“The first delivery of domestic gas from the Gorgon project is the realisation of a very productive relationship that has been forged between Synergy and the Gorgon project partners over a number of years.”
The Chevron-operated Gorgon Project is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (47.3 percent), ExxonMobil (25 percent), Shell (25 percent), Osaka Gas (1.25 percent), Tokyo Gas (1 percent) and JERA (0.417 percent).
