    ASX RELEASE 6 October 2011 The Manager Company Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange 4th Floor, 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000 Electronic Lodgement Dear Sir or Madam Company Announcement I attach the following announcement for release to the market: • APA and AGL to build gas-fired power station in Mount Isa Yours sincerely Mark Knapman Company Secretary For personal use only ASX RELEASE 6 October 2011 APA and AGL to build gas-fired power station in Mount Isa APA Group (ASX:APA), Australia’s largest natural gas infrastructure business, will jointly develop a 242 MW gas-fired power station at Mount Isa, Queensland following the signing today of a long-term agreement to supply electricity to Xstrata Mount Isa Mines through to 2030. The Diamantina Power Station will be constructed jointly with AGL Energy (ASX:AGK) in a 50:50 joint venture and will be underpinned by contracts with other major energy users. The power station will produce sufficient electricity to supply mines and communities in the region, with scope for further expansion in line with energy demand increases. APA, together with AGL, today finalised a long term energy supply agreement with Xstrata Mount Isa Mines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xstrata, for the supply of electricity commencing in late 2013. Under the arrangements, AGL has contracted transportation capacity in APA’s Carpentaria Gas Pipeline to supply gas to the Diamantina Power Station for the initial ten year period.
