The Plan for Accelerating Exploration (PACE) Gas grant program aims to increase gas supplies and increase competition between gas suppliers in South Australia. The conditions of the grant program are that gas users (firstly electricity generators, followed by industry and then retail consumers in South Australia) will be provided with a first right to agree commercial terms to contract gas resulting from successful grant-supported projects.
