AGID
Austrian Gas Infrastructure Day
The Austrian Gas Infrastructure Day (AGID) informs all market participants about current topics in the Austrian gas infrastructure. New and ongoing projects are presented and the current capacity situation in the distribution area and transmission network is presented.
The AGID offers the market a current overview of the necessary further development of the Austrian gas network to achieve climate neutrality in 2040.
At the interface between market participants and authorities, the Austrian Gas Infrastructure Day promotes efficient and coordinated network development.
AGID 2026
The AGID represents the highlight of our infrastructure planning. The event offers an insight into the current gas network infrastructure measures for security of supply and diversification of sources as well as the current planning status of the hydrogen network.
The consultation versions of the Long Term and Integrated Planning (LFiP) and the Coordinated Network Development Plan (CNDP) will be presented during the event. These infrastructure plans lay the foundation for the secure energy transition in the pipeline. We will provide an overview of the necessary further development of the Austrian gas network to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
We are also looking forward to exciting discussions and guest lectures from the fields of climate research and regulation.
