WE ENSURE THAT ENERGY CAN FLOW
We are a leading Austrian transmission system operator and an important partner in the supply of gas for Austria and Europe and of other grid-based renewable forms of energy such as biogas and hydrogen. Our core business is the transportation of natural gas and the operation and maintenance of gas pipelines and facilities. We ensure the reliable and safe supply of energy for Austria and adjacent countries.
Who we are
TAG GmbH:
for Austria
and Europe
WHAT WE DO
transport services are our expertise
In everything we do, we make a significant contribution to security of supply in Europe
We are one of Europe’s leading natural gas transporters. With our transport capacities and the services we offer, we are a dependable partner to the energy market. We provide our services transparently and in a non-discriminatory manner.
Who our customers are and how we work with them
Our customers are system users. By entering into a capacity contract with us, they acquire the right to enter natural gas (booked flow rate) at an entry point, or withdraw it at an exit point, on a guaranteed or interruptible basis.
System users allocate the capacities specified in their contracts to balance group representatives, which are authorised by law and under the general terms for balance group management to nominate those capacities for the relevant entry and exit points in accordance with the Austrian Gas Market Code.
Nominations are defined in terms of energy (kWh/h). Subject to the technical capacity of our pipeline system, we accept defined nominations for the Baumgarten entry point (Austrian/Slovakian border) and the Arnoldstein entry and exit point.
Quality and professionalism
To avoid interruptions and reductions in the flow of gas, we coordinate necessary maintenance work so as to minimise the impact on our transport services.
Gas accepted into our pipeline system must meet defined quality specifications. As a minimum, gas entering the TAG transport system must satisfy the criteria specified in the technical rules as defined in section 7 paragraph 1 no. 53 of the Austrian Natural Gas Act. These technical rules are listed in Annex 2 to the Gas Market Model Ordinance.
