AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoAustralia–India energy diplomacy: PM Narendra Modi’s Australia visit and follow-on three-nation tour are framed as a major reset for Indo-Pacific cooperation, with Canberra and New Delhi deepening defence and energy ties and signing a uranium supply deal that reignites Australia’s uranium export debate and “nuclear ban” politics. Gas & LNG outlook: The IEA flags weaker global gas demand in 2026 on the back of tight LNG supply, while Australia’s east coast gas market is described as well-supplied into 2026 with longer-term demand risk. Batteries & grid buildout: New storage projects and battery supply activity keep popping up, including compressed CO2 storage in Victoria and more battery/solar hybrid momentum. AI and energy demand: Commentary and research continue to link AI growth to higher power and emissions pressures, with knock-on effects for energy planning. Policy & consumer pressure: Watchdogs warn about rising home battery complaints and the need for stronger consumer protections as uptake grows. Geopolitics and fuel prices: Middle East tensions and shipping chokepoints remain a live driver for oil and energy price volatility, feeding into broader inflation and market jitters.
