Building Electrification Regulatory Impact Statement
Gas Energy Australia (GEA) endorses the critical role of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Victoria's energy landscape, as highlighted in our submission to the Building Electrification Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS). As a reliable energy source for millions of Australians, particularly in regional areas, LPG provides essential services and supports emissions reduction efforts. The exclusion of LPG from the RIS analysis could lead to flawed conclusions favouring electrification, which may not represent the best outcomes for consumers. GEA advocates for a comprehensive approach that includes renewable forms of LPG, such as bioLPG and renewable LPG (rLPG), to achieve a balanced energy mix. By embracing LPG's potential, we aim to contribute to a sustainable energy future that ensures reliability, affordability, and progress towards net zero emissions for all Victorians.
