Eastern Gas Pipeline

Transports gas from Gippsland Basin to markets in Sydney and regional centres

The Eastern Gas Pipeline transports natural gas from the Gippsland Basin in Victoria to markets in Sydney and a number of regional centres including Wollongong and Canberra.

Gas enters the pipeline at the Longford compressor station which primarily sources gas from the Esso/BHP Billiton gas processing plant at Longford as well as the VicHub Interconnect Facility and the Patricia Baleen gas plant at Orbost.

The Eastern Gas Pipeline is well placed to accommodate additional gas fired generators within the current expansion and possible future expansion projects.
