GRIP CEE 2017 / Main Report

4.2.1 AUSTRIA (AT)

The gas supply corridors in the following picture show the main supply corridor for Austria, which under normal conditions runs through Ukraine and Slovakia and through IP Baumgarten (at the figure marked AT1). Other gas supply corridors in case of a supply disruption through Ukraine, but also under normal conditions, are through Germany (marked AT2) and through Italy (AT3). From 2018 and 2022, two new supply corridors for Austria can be used by commissioning two projects which are planning to create a reverse flow capability between Slovenia and Austria, and Hungary and Austria, respectively. The remaining gas in Austria could be used for export to Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic (from 2020) under a Ukraine disruption scenario.
