In its capacity as the market area manager (MAM), Gas Connect Austria (GCA) played a major part in the successful launch of the new Austrian gas market model at the start of this year. The changeover was a requirement of the Natural Gas Act 2011 and the Gas Market Model Order 2012. Key features of the new system are the creation of a standardised market area, a shift to a flexible entry-exit tariff scheme and revised balancing rules.
