Data exchange

To process gas flows a strictly formalised and automated exchange of data is necessary between all market participants of the Austrian gas market. The market participants are: AGGM, transmission and distribution system operators, balancing groups, suppliers, storage- and production operators as well as the operators of the virtual trading points (VTP).

Since 1 October 2022, the dispatch of standard load profile (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.
