As part of its assessment the company will evaluate opportunities in LNG import, storage and regasification, alongside prospects for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and battery services. Existing city gas distribution networks may offer integration points for cleaner fuel supply, while partnerships with technology and energy firms are being considered. Regulatory frameworks and state level policy incentives are being reviewed to align project plans with national objectives.

Stakeholder consultations will include state authorities, industrial consumers and prospective investors to ensure broad-based support. Expected outcomes include reduced emissions in transport and industry and improved energy security for the state. Technical assessments will cover supply security, storage requirements and integration with existing distribution assets to ensure resilience.

The company will continue to monitor market developments and may release further updates as feasibility work concludes. This strategy is intended to balance short term operational priorities with longer term sustainability goals.
