TP ICAP, a global provider of market infrastructure and data solutions, today announced the launch of its Western Australia (WA) Gas Desk, expanding its Energy and Commodities (E&C) business into Perth and positioning the firm at the centre of Australia’s largest gas producing region.

The new desk will provide dedicated brokerage services to the WA domestic gas market, supporting improved liquidity, price discovery and market transparency. While Western Australia underpins a significant share of Australian national gas supply, much of its production is tied to exports and LNG processing, leaving a less intermediated domestic market and a clear opportunity for enhanced connectivity.

Kellee Campbell, Divisional Director, Energy & Commodities, Australia & New Zealand, TP ICAP said:

“Western Australia is a critically important market with strong fundamentals and growing demand for transparency and efficient price formation. By establishing a dedicated desk in Perth, we are bringing global expertise and local presence together to support clients with improved access to liquidity and more effective risk management.

As the market continues to evolve, our focus is on connecting participants, enhancing trading efficiency and helping shape a more transparent and resilient domestic gas market.”

Building on its established presence in Australia’s eastern gas market, ICAP will bring global expertise, deep client relationships and proven execution capabilities to support Western Australian producers, utilities, industrial users and traders across the region.

The launch also represents a key milestone in TP ICAP’s broader E&C growth strategy, expanding its footprint in APAC, diversifying its offering and strengthening its role in the development of regional energy markets.

The new desk is based in Perth and is now operational.
