831,809 litres compared to May 2022 at 945,506 litres due to the lower levels of network service provided in September.
In addition, the spot price of natural gas used to power the Transport Canberra gas bus fleet has increased significantly since the 24 February 2022. The spot price for natural gas was $10/GJ on 31 January 2022. Since February the spot price spiked with prices over $41/GJ seen in May. High demand for domestic gas and flooding in some areas during April and May has also impacted the market. For comparison purposes, the cost of natural gas to operate the bus fleet for the month of January 2022 was $77,234 and in May this cost had increased to $203,400 for the first three weeks to 23 May 2022.
The ACT Government will continue to deliver frequent and reliable public transport services for Canberrans during this period of unusually high prices. There are standing arrangements in place for directorates to receive supplementary budget funding for unforeseen costs arising during the course of a financial year if these eventuate. TCCS will consider the need to access these arrangements in the context of the broader portfolio budget.
