ATCO Gas Australia Pty. Ltd (ATCO) announced today the opening of a
state-of-the-art business and operations centre in Jandakot as part of its
ongoing commitment to the region and the safe, reliable delivery of natural gas
in Western Australia. 


Located on Prinsep Road, the purpose-built facility showcases new natural gas
technologies, including state-of-the-art appliances, vehicles and back-up
generators all fuelled by natural gas. 


"This is an exciting day for ATCO Gas Australia as this new facility
demonstrates how gas-powered innovations, such as gas-powered air conditioning,
can provide greener energy solutions," said Alan Dixon, President, ATCO Gas
Australia. "By switching to natural gas, businesses can benefit from lower
running costs, improved environmental ratings for buildings and a diversified
portfolio of energy solutions which provides energy security." 


The facility's state-of-the-art natural gas-powered air conditioning units will
help to minimise operating costs and environmental footprint. The facility also
features natural gas-fired back-up power generation that provides security of
continuous operations without the need to store fuel on site. A compressed
natural gas (CNG) refueling station has also been installed to service ATCO's
CNG fleet vehicles, which will result in lower fuel costs and reduced emissions.
The CNG refueling station also has the capacity to fuel CNG vehicles owned by
other organisations. 


Covering more than 3,127m2, the Jandakot facility will house more than 200
employees and bring together operational and office-based staff for the first
time.  The construction process incorporated the removal and storage of 243
plants from the site, including 220 grass trees and 23 Macrozamias.  These
plants have been replanted around the new facility, restoring the appearance and
ecology of the site to its former state. 


The facility also houses the new ATCO Gas Blue Flame Kitchen, which will engage
the local community by providing cooking classes and demonstrations, in addition
to offering educational programs to teach school children about nutrition,
kitchen safety, and cooking with natural gas. To celebrate the official launch
of the ATCO Gas Blue Flame Kitchen, ATCO also announced today an initiative to
provide funding to select City of Cockburn schools to help them establish their
own kitchen gardens.

infrastructure in Western Australia. The gas reticulation networks serve
Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Albany, Bunbury, Busselton, Harvey, Pinjarra, Brunswick
