Iona Gas Plant, Port Campbell

South west gas storage

A new well in Victoria's south west will make it easier to access stored gas reserves in high demand periods.

The new well is being developed by Lochard Energy at its Iona Gas Plant near Port Campbell.

The minister's media release on the new well is available to read, and you can read more on south west gas storage below:
