A new gas extraction project has been approved in Victoria for the first time in a decade and the government has not ruled out ticking off new exploration sites in the state.
Beach Energy will pipe gas from an offshore field near Port Campbell, close to the Twelve Apostles, from the end of June.
The gas is intended to be used in Victorian homes and businesses with supply already factored into forecasts, meaning it will not impact shortfalls predicted by the Australian Energy Market Operator.
