For a secure, high-quality supply of natural gas – now and in the future. 

 We are planning to convert market areas currently supplied with L-gas to H-gas to account for the decline in L-gas availability.

For even more security in the supply system. 

Based on the findings resulting from the gas shortage situation in February 2012, we have agreed a range of measures with the other network operators.
