Supply crisis looming in 2021
Victorian households consume two-thirds of all residential gas used in Australia, and for the past 50 years that has not been a problem.
The state's offshore gas fields have provided the bulk of the country's supply and the resource has been cheap and plentiful.
But now those reserves are starting to run out.
Other gas reserves that were predicted to come online have not eventuated, and the anti-coal seam gas (CSG) movements in New South Wales and Victoria are having an impact.
