gas reserves

Government looking at gas for power

Minister for Planning and Acting Minister for State Enterprise and Public Investment, Charles Abel, says Cabinet is currently looking at options to access the additional gas reserves from the PNG LNG Project to supplement additional power generation in the country.

Abel said he did not see the rationale in exporting all our gas when it can also be used for our benefits.

“I just don’t see the logic in exporting all our gas. If there is options for us to access that gas, clean energy that belongs to us.
