Longford Outage Highlights Market Vulnerability – The recent unexpected outage at ExxonMobil's Longford processing plant has once again exposed the east coast gas market's susceptibility to supply disruptions. With Victoria particularly reliant on Longford's output, we examine the risks and implications for the coming winter period.

We analyse what this means for project feasibility and community engagement.
