Management

With approximately 250 employees at 8 locations we ensure the security of gas supply in Baden-Württemberg. And we have been doing so for more than 50 years.
In future, the gas infrastructure will be increasingly used for gas that has been produced from renewable energies. The coupling of the gas and electricity infrastructures is an important factor in the energy transition. In order for it to succeed, we are developing solutions today for the energy supply of tomorrow.

— Katrin Flinspach, Managing Director

Since 2012, the demand for gas transmission in Baden-Württemberg has risen by 30% – and the trend: it will continue to rise! To make sure we can continue to guarantee the security of energy supply, we are developing our infrastructure in line with demand. To achieve this, we place great importance on an early dialogue and a close communication exchange with municipalities, districts and their local inhabitants.
