Changes to the Albany Gas Distribution System

ATCO has advised the State Government of its decision to decommission the reticulated gas network servicing Albany and surrounds.
Last updated:

This decision was made by ATCO and is not controlled, directed, or approved by the State Government. ATCO is a private operator and is responsible for its infrastructure and commercial decisions.

The State Government will work with energy providers and regulators to ensure that households and businesses affected by this decision continue to have access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy options.

There is no immediate impact on gas supplies in Albany and customers do not have to take any immediate action.

The Albany Gas Distribution System (AGDS), owned and operated by ATCO Gas, supplies approximately 8,000 residential and business customers with reticulated LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas). 

The AGDS consists of approximately 160km of pipes delivering gas from a tank farm to households and businesses across Albany.

While the decision to decommission the network rests solely with ATCO, the State Government is committed to working with all parties to ensure the ongoing energy needs of Albany households and businesses are met.

More information is available on the ATCO website.
