APG is responsible for managing the electricity system of the future. This requires an expanded, high-capacity, digitalized, and resilient electricity infrastructure. With the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement in December 2015 and the subsequently defined legally binding targets at national and European level, it became clear that all new grid infrastructure projects that were in the planning stages or already being implemented from this point onwards would serve to enable a secure, reliable, and affordable energy transition. Thus, they are considered energy transition projects regardless of whether they are reinforcement and expansion measures, new line and substation projects, or focus on developing innovative digitalization and technology solutions. APG’s Future Grid Tracker presents projects from all these areas in a transparent and accessible way and tracks their current level of target achievement.

Note: The Future Grid Tracker not only maps line conversion and expansion projects but also includes innovation, flexibilization, and system development projects. Exemplary projects represented in the Future Grid Tracker in addition to large-scale line projects also comprise cross-sector future-oriented projects.

All construction projects were and are part of APG’s investment programme and are therefore also included in the regular approval process of the Grid Development Plans, as well as in the annual tariff review conducted by E-Control, Austria’s regulatory authority in the energy sector. The Future Grid Tracker includes all projects contained in the current Grid Development Plan.
