EVN Starting clear: 200,000 customers will be supplied with local natural gas in the future!

From January 1, 2025, the approximately 200,000 private gas customers of EVN will be supplied with natural gas from domestic production. As EVN board spokesman Stefan Szyszkowitz announced during the annual balance sheet conference in Vienna, a long-term contract was signed with the OMV, which is intended to secure the continuous supply of Austrian natural gas. This decision is considered a strategic step to increase the security of supply of customers and avoid price fluctuations in the long term, says Szyszkowitz.

The effects of the switch to customers should remain neutral in terms of price in the medium term. This redeveloped an essential part of the gas supply in order to better exploit regional resources and reduce dependencies on external markets. The new OMV deal could not only contribute to the stability of the prices, but also optimize the entire supply chain. In addition, the evn that the sealing tests are also carried out in accordance with the ÖVGW guideline G10 as part of the gas supply. These controls include the review of the control facilities and gas meter systems.

The tightness test takes place with modern electronic measuring devices and takes around an hour. In single -family houses, the entire customer management is checked, while in larger residential complexes only the line is tested from the gas meter. These measures are important to constantly ensure the safety of the gas supply and to minimize the risks of leaks.
