It operates and maintains the largest high-pressure network in Switzerland with a length of around 630 kilometers. Every year, around 11 terawatt hours of natural gas and biogas (around a third of the total Swiss demand) flow through the Erdgas Ostschweiz AG network, which is safely and reliably transported from the import points to the connected local suppliers in Eastern Switzerland - environmentally friendly , efficient and directly to wherever the gas is consumed. In response to the imminent opening of the market, the company prepared early for future scenarios and successfully implemented the separation of network and sales. The company operates two customs measuring stations through which the contractually agreed natural gas quantities are taken over from the upstream systems and around 80 pressure reducing stations through which the gas is fed into the local networks.
Erdgas Ostschweiz AG is owned by 11 shareholders, of which Energie 360 ° AG is the largest with a stake of 65.98% - followed by the cities of St. Gallen (7.01%) and Schaffhausen (4.88%) %).
