Senex Energy signs deal to increase supply of gas to CleanCo into 2022

The company said it was proud to be supporting Australian manufacturing with its supply of gas.

Senex Energy has announced it will supply more natural gas to the power generator CleanCo Queensland, helping provide electricity to homes and businesses.

The agreement extends the relationship between Senex and CleanCo, which began in 2019, to three years.

Managing director and CEO Ian Davies said Senex was proud to be supporting manufacturing and jobs in the broader economy by supplying gas from the Atlas development near Wandoan in western Queensland.

Atlas was Australia’s first natural gas acreage dedicated to domestic supply.

“The strong ongoing relationship between Senex and CleanCo contributes to security of power supply that helps the recovery of the Queensland and Australian economies,” Mr Davies said.

“Senex will continue to build a portfolio of gas sales agreements that support jobs and regional economies as we partner with commercial and industrial customers for long-term and mutually beneficial relationships.

“Each of our long-term and mutually beneficial relationships – with partners also including CSR, Orora, Visy Glass, Alinta Energy and Southern Oil Refining – reinforces Senex’s significance as a supplier of natural gas to the east coast market.”

The sales agreement is for 2.55 petajoules of natural gas in 2022.

Senex-produced natural gas fuels Swanbank E, CleanCo’s highly efficient 385MW gas-fired power station near Ipswich in southeast Queensland which plays a key role in ensuring the ongoing reliability and stability of Queensland’s electricity network.
