AGL scraps Crib Point LNG import project
Australia's gas and power retailer AGL Energy on May 3 said it would stop any further development of the proposed LNG import jetty at Crib Point. This comes just a month after the government of the state of Victoria had blocked the project on environmental grounds.
Victorian planning minister Richard Wynne in late March said that discharges from the project will have “unacceptable” effects on the local environment, including a nearby wetland of international significance.
