LIP Quarterly Update - March 2025

Reflecting back on 2024, it was a remarkable year for our Long Island Point plant operations with the successful opening of our Hastings Generation Plant. The plant is helping to reduce the need for flaring at LIP and will ultimately generate enough electricity to power as much as half of all the homes on the Mornington Peninsula.

The team also achieved a significant safety milestone with 2024 being our safest year in 10 years. This is a proud achievement, and I’d like to thank each and every one of my team members for their ongoing focus on keeping themselves, and each other, safe.

Last month, we held our first community webinar for the year, one of our most well-attended community forums to date. It was an opportunity for us to share an update on our operations with the community as well as hear their feedback. We appreciate the community’s keen interest in our operations, and I look forward to strengthening these relationships even further in 2025.

I’d also like to thank our team as they completed critical maintenance at the site with minor increases to safety flaring during these activities. This work is part of our regularly scheduled activities to continue the safe, responsible and reliable operation of our facility.

Recently, Natasha Marsh, our Operations Technician, participated as a panel member during Western Port Secondary College’s International Women’s Day event along with other influential women from our Western Port community. Natasha shared her career journey and how she has supported other women both personally and professionally throughout her working life, hoping to inspire and encourage students at the event.  

Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another exciting year for our Long Island Point operations as we continue our critical role in supporting the supply of natural gas across the east coast of Australia. I wish our team all the very best.

As always, if you have any questions about our operations, please feel free to reach me at consultation@exxonmobil.com.
