The Goldfields Gas Pipeline is a 1,378-kilometre (856 mi) natural gas transmission pipeline which transports natural gas from Carnarvon basin producers in the north-west of Western Australia to Kalgoorlie in the south-east.[2][3][4] The pipeline first transmitted gas in June 1996, and reached Kalgoorlie in September 1996.[1] The Goldfields Gas Pipeline connects to the Newman Power Station (100% owned by Alinta Energy) by a 47-kilometre (29 mi) lateral pipeline constructed in 1996.[2][5]
Alinta Energy owns an 11.8% interest in the Goldfields Gas Pipeline, with the remaining interest held by the APA Group. Alinta Energy's interest in the Goldfields Gas Pipeline entitles it to transportation of up to 23.4 terajoules per day (75 kWh/s) to its Newman Power Station.
