APT Pipelines (NT) Pty Ltd (APTNT) (an APA subsidiary) owns and operates the Amadeus Gas Pipeline in the Northern Territory. The National Gas Law (NGL) and National Gas Rules (NGR) provide the regulatory framework governing gas pipelines. As with other scheme pipelines, we regulate APTNT's reference tariffs - and through this its revenue - under an approved access arrangement.
AER final decision
On 21 May 2026, we published our final decision on the revenue that APTNT can recover through its reference tariffs for the Amadeus Gas Pipeline's 2026–31 regulatory control period.
Background
A regulated network business must periodically apply to us to determine the maximum allowed revenue it can recover from consumers for using its network. In assessing these proposals, it is our role to ensure that consumers pay no more than is necessary for an energy system that delivers safe, reliable, secure energy that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
