PESA ACT/NSW June Technical Lunch

PESA NSW Technical Meeting

The Month of May 2024, the Federal Budget et al.

The month of May 2024 has seen considerable debate, public policy releases, the Federal Budget, AEMO Reports, political fury, admissions of poor decision making and some fallout from key legal environmental cases and ministerial decision making. The presentation will go through each event, document and court case to come up with some sense or logic as to where May 2024 will be seriously important to the oil and gas industry, its clients and is people.

Among the items to be covered will include:

1/ Federal Budget of 14 May 2024, including its associated Papers and Press Releases over Hydrogen manufacture and subsidies, critical minerals processing and subsidies;
2/ Senate Inquiry into the Environment Protectors Office case and its involvement in the Santos case over a development of an offshore gas Project;
3/ Funding for Quantum Computer in Queensland;
4/ Senate impasse over approvals of legislation to expedite oil and gas development Projects;
5/ Federal moves to encourage the development of a battery manufacturing industry in Australia;
6/ the AEMO report identifying potential short supplies of energy from 2025 onwards on the east coast;
7/ the new Federal Energy Strategy released by Minister King; and
8/ relevant items known from the AEP Conference in Perth.
