Tas Gas
Tas Gas is Tasmania’s gas distributor as well as supplying some parts of Victoria. Read more about them and find out how they operate here through Savvy’s energy review.
Fact checked
Tas Gas is a privately owned gas company in Tasmania, but they also supply natural gas to ten regional towns in Victoria. The company is owned by interests managed by Foresight Australia Funds Management. They serve residential, commercial and industrial customers, providing gas for domestic heating, hot water and cooking, as well as industrial and commercial needs. Tas Gas holds around 65% of the market share of domestic gas retailing in the state.
They are the state’s only gas distributor, with Tas Gas Networks operating a gas network with over 837 kilometres of pipelines delivering natural gas for heating homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. The state has one other gas retailer, the state government-owned Aurora Energy. However, not all areas of Tasmania have access to natural gas, with Tas Gas’s network of pipelines expanding each year.
In addition to distributing gas in Tasmania, Tas Gas also owns and operates a 182-kilometre transmission pipeline from Carisbrook to Horsham in south-west Victoria, supplying gas to regional towns in that area.
