Description
The Bidirectional Austrian Czech Interconnection (BACI) will be a new infrastructure directly connecting the Austrian and Czech market. It will be
connected to the existing Czech transmission system via CS Břeclav (NET4GAS s.r.o.) and to the Austrian transmission system via Baumgarten (GAS
CONNECT AUSTRIA GmbH). The project BACI will enable capacity transmission for the first time between these two EU member states and it will
facilitate better market integration between Austria and the Czech Republic. The project BACI will also increase the overall flexibility of the Czech,
Austrian and also Polish system by diversification of gas supply routes and by connecting UGSs in the Czech Republic and Austria.
