Network connections and gas pressure regulating and metering stations in our network must meet specific minimum technical requirements (MTRs). This page provides you with all the relevant information and documents to download.
Here, you can also find out about the network connection conditions and the request for injection of biomethane and hydrogen. Information is also provided on connection to storage facilities.
The MTRs include the network connection conditions and the binding requirements and execution recommendations for secure, efficient and economical implementation of technical rules and regulations. These are available for the construction, modification and operation of gas pressure regulating and metering stations on our OGE network.
Apart from the network connection conditions, the MTRs also includes binding requirements and recommendations for the safe, efficient and cost-effective implementation of technical rules and …regulations for the installation, modification and operation of gas pressure regulating and metering systems connected to Open Grid Europe’s pipeline network.
