In April 2016 the ACCC said, 'The future supply outlook is uncertain when it comes to gas.' In 2017 the Australian energy market corporation said: 'Reform is needed now to keep pace with the changing east coast gas market and to ensure sufficient flexibility so consumers don't pay more than necessary for their gas.'
