QLD: AGN Queensland Gas Distribution Network

The AGN Queensland gas distribution network is owned by Australian Gas Networks (AGN – formerly known as Envestra Limited) who outsources the operation of the network to the APA Group.

The AGN Queensland gas distribution network covers separate areas in the Brisbane region (Brisbane CBD, north of the Brisbane River and Ipswich) and Northern Region (Rockhampton and Gladstone). In total, it consists of 3,152 km of pipeline delivering gas to around 102,000 customers. The distribution network has 3590km of lateral pipelines which includes 314km of mains (with 1050kPa).

The network was initially subject to regulation as a covered pipeline under the Gas Code by the Queensland Competition Authority. It was then subject to full regulation by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) under the National Gas Rules (NGR).

In November 2014, the National Competition Council (NCC) made a decision on the form of regulation for the Queensland gas distribution network. The AGN Queensland gas distribution network is now subject to light regulation by the AER under the NGL.
