Brief pro­file

OGE, based in Essen, is one of Germany’s major trans­mis­sion sys­tem oper­a­tors, with a pipeline net­work some 12,000 kilo­me­tres long. Our around 1,450 employ­ees pro­vide safe, envi­ron­men­tal­ly-friend­ly and cus­tomer-focused gas trans­porta­tion through­out Ger­many. We active­ly sup­port the Euro­pean gas mar­ket and, in coop­er­a­tion with oth­er Euro­pean trans­mis­sion sys­tem oper­a­tors, we cre­ate the pre­req­ui­sites for cross-bor­der trans­porta­tion and trad­ing. Our under­stand­ing of who we are goes beyond the reg­u­la­to­ry con­di­tions that we are sub­ject to as a net­work oper­a­tor. We see our­selves as a cus­tomer- and ser­vice-ori­ent­ed provider that active­ly sup­ports the ener­gy tran­si­tion, by help­ing to improve infra­struc­tures and min­imise risks, for exam­ple –  or by con­tin­u­al­ly attempt­ing to iden­ti­fy oppor­tu­ni­ties and offer inno­v­a­tive solu­tions, be they for large, com­plex projects or for small, detailed solu­tions. www.oge.net/en
