AGID

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.

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.
 
During the AGID, the consultation versions of the Long Term and Integrated Planning (LFiP) and the Coordinated Network Development Plan (CNDP) will be presented. These infrastructure plans lay the foundation for the secure energy transition in the pipeline.

The first version of the H2 roadmap for Austria was presented at AGID 2023. Based on the comprehensive needs survey for 2024, the updated H2 roadmap for Austria will be presented at AGID 2024. The H2 roadmap describes the further development of the gas network for the transport of hydrogen and methane until 2050. A concept for an Austrian CO2 network will also be presented for the first time.

In addition, there will be exciting national and international guest contributions, including on the development of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany and a panel discussion on the topic of ‘What grids does the energy transition need’.
