Sufficiency of Gas Supply

In the event that a shortage of gas supply to an area occurs or is likely to occur, the Gas Supply Act 2003 gives the Minister power to regulate the supply, distribution and sale of gas to customers. In such an event, a priority for the Government would be to ensure an adequate supply of gas to essential services such as hospitals and aged persons homes.
