Energy Quest’s Graeme Bethune says Western Australia’s requirement that 15 per cent of LNG production must be reserved for domestic use does not appear to have had much impact on gas prices in the state. Critics of the policy include the state’s Economic Regulation Authority, which concluded in 2014 that it deters investment in the gas industry. However, the DomGas alliance argues that there has been a sharp rise in investment since the policy was introduced in 2006.
