The Silver Springs Pipeline (also known as SSP or the Silver Springs to Wallumbilla Pipeline) is a transmission pipeline located in south Queensland. The SSP is owned and operated by AGL.

The SSP is 101km in length and has a capacity of 9 TJ/day.

The SSP links AGL’s Silver Springs underground gas storage (UGS) facility with the Wallumbilla gas hub near Roma in Queensland.

AGL has contracted to store gas at the Silver Springs UGS facility for QGC Pty Limited (part of the BG Group) in support of QGC’s LNG development at Gladstone. The Silver Springs UGS facility also allows AGL to manage its gas supply during seasonal variations.

The SSP is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules (NGR). It was previously subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under the former Part 23 of the NGR, which was replaced by Part 10.

The AER has granted the following exemptions for the SSP:

• On 3 January 2018, a five year Category 1 and Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
• On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 1 and Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR. Due to reforms to the NGR, these exemptions transitioned to a Category 1 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.

The SSP was constructed in 1978.
