Beach Energy Warns Gas Price Controls Will Worsen Supply Shortfall and Undermine Australian Manufacturing

Beach Energy Warns Against Gas Price Controls, Citing Risks to Supply and Investment Beach Energy Limited has criticised calls from the Australian manufacturing sector to introduce gas price controls as part of the Federal Government’s National Gas Market Review. In a statement released on October 8, 2025, Managing Director and CEO Brett Woods argued that price-setting measures would discourage domestic exploration and production, worsening projected gas shortfalls for manufacturers and industry. Woods called for the removal of policy and regulatory barriers and advocated for incentives to boost local gas supply. He warned that further market intervention would deter investment and harm jobs and economic growth, despite Australian wholesale gas prices already being among the lowest in the OECD. Beach Energy, which supplies all of its east coast gas to domestic customers, instead supports policies that increase supply and promote collaboration between industry and producers.
