Trans Austria Gas Pipeline

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trans Austria Gas (TAG) pipeline is a natural gas pipeline that leads from the Slovak-Austrian border at Baumgarten an der March to Arnoldstein in the south, near the border with Italy. Natural gas originating from Russia is transported to and used in Italy and Austria.

The pipeline is 380 km long. The original two lines date back to the 1960s, but in 2006 an extension to the pipeline is under construction.

The company managing the pipeline is a partnership between energy companies Eni from Italy and OMV from Austria.
