In 2016, Energy Infrastructure Partners successfully secured a stake in FluxSwiss, joining forces with Fluxys and Swissgas as industrial partners. FluxSwiss stands as the primary transmission system operator for the Transitgas pipeline, responsible for commercializing 90% of its total capacity. Additionally, FluxSwiss holds a 46% share in the pipeline asset company, Transitgas AG.
This pipeline serves as a key trans alpine connection between Northern Europe and Italy, playing a pivotal role in securing flexible and reliable gas supply for both Italy and Switzerland. Originally commissioned in 1974, the pipeline has undergone substantial expansion and renovation to meet evolving demands and standards.
A key transalpine European gas supply connection
Expanded pipeline
The operational asset, initially commissioned in 1974, features 293 kilometers of pipeline, which was continuously refurbished and significantly expanded since then.
Commerciali-zation
FluxSwiss holds the exclusive rights to market approximately 90% of the pipeline’s transport capacity, employing a blend of long-term and short-term capacity products.
Security of supply
Transitgas plays a crucial role in securing the natural gas supply to Switzerland, while serving as the balancing route for Germany and Italy. Its contribution extends beyond Switzerland, enhancing the security of gas supply for Germany and Italy as well.
Competative market
The pipeline operates in a non-discriminatory and competitive market, facilitating the gas flow from Northern Europe to Italy and vice versa.
Planning for the future
Given its strategic location and bidirectional flows, Transitgas is ideally equipped to navigate future gas market fluctuations and accommodate a potential transition to hydrogen.
