AGGM services for the gas industry
As a market area and distribution area manager, AGGM provides numerous services for all market participants in the Austrian gas industry.
With the AGGM platform, a digital one-stop-shop solution has been created for all the needs of market participants.
Here, registrations of market participants can be made, the balancing messages and the balance group status can be displayed in the login area and further actions can be taken for activities in the Austrian gas market.
EIC allocation
An Energy Identification Code (EIC) is assigned to a specific object (System operator, balance group representatives, Supplier, balance group, Market Area, etc.). As the Local Issuing Office (LIO), AGGM is responsible for issuing EICs in the Austrian market areas. EICs can be applied for online via the AGGM platform.
Data exchange
A strictly formalised and automated exchange of data takes place between the players involved in the Austrian gas market in order to handle the gas flows. The market participants are: AGGM, transmission and distribution system operators, balancing groups, suppliers as well as the operators of the virtual trading points (VHP).
Since 1 October 2022, the dispatch of SLP forecasts has been switched exclusively to Edigas (ALOCAT 4.0/5.1 or MARSIT) via AS4. In addition, there is the possibility to handle the SLP dispatch via EDA.
Data transmission is set up, among other things, during registration as a market participant.
