Gas day harmonisation

Gas day harmonisation will take effect across participating gas markets from 1 October 2019. As required by the National Gas Rules, we have developed a gas day harmonisation transition plan outlining how AGL gas facilities plan to transition to the unified gas day. If we make any changes to this transition plan ahead of 1 October, we will amend the plan published here and notify Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
