history
In February 2012 Erdgas Münster Transport GmbH & Co. KG - a previous part of Erdgas Münster GmbH - was transferred to Nowega GmbH. The company was thus set up as an independent transport network operator (UTB) in accordance with the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) . This was made necessary by a new EU legal framework, which mandated the complete unbundling of trade and transport of natural gas . In November 2012, Nowega GmbH was one of the first transmission system operators in Germany to receive certification as a UTB from the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) for the unbundling of all required areas in accordance with the legal requirements . As a transmission system operator, Nowega GmbH is subject to German and European gas market regulation.
Pipeline network / products
The pipeline network stretches from the Dutch border across Lower Saxony to Wendland and parts of North Rhine-Westphalia. Nowega operates a natural gas conversion plant in Rehden, Diepholz district.
