On 14 November 2024, APT Pipelines NT Pty Ltd (APTNT) applied to revoke the exemption granted to it as its subsidiary, NT Gas Distribution Pty Ltd was no longer going to be taking part in a related business from 15 December 2024.
On 17 April 2025, the Australian Energy Regulator published its draft decision to revoke an exemption granted to APTNT from ring-fencing requirements under section 140 of the National Gas Law (NGL).
As APTNT no longer requires an exemption from section 140 of the NGL, there are no associated costs of compliance with that provision and therefore we consider that it no longer meets the exemption criterion. The revocation will take effect on the date that we make a final decision.
