Innovative projects of RAG Austria at EXPO 2025
From April 13 to October 13, 2025, the world exhibition EXPO 2025 took place in Osaka, Japan, and RAG Austria was a part of it! More than 160 countries, regions and international organizations introduced their ideas. A total of 65 projects and events were presented from Austria.
Our project “Underground Sun Storage” was presented as one of the projects for future in the Austrian pavilion. With innovative green gas solutions such as “methane electrolysis”, we want to make a contribution to the global energy future. We are proud to bring RAG Austria's innovative projects to the world!
RAG Energy Storage’s online customer portal is now available
RAG Energy Storage's customer portal “MyRAG” is now online. Via the customer portal storage customers can view contract and storage data anytime and anywhere and have the possibility to download the data as well. The monthly storage reports are also available for download. Registration in the portal and transmission of the login data is carried out by RAG Energy Storage. This service is free of charge.
H2eart for Europe
RAG Energy Storage GmbH is a member of the new “H2eart for Europe” alliance to accelerate hydrogen storage projects. As part of the hydrogen economy of tomorrow, we want to actively shape and enable the hydrogen ramp-up in Central Europe. With lighthouse projects like Underground Sun Storage 2030 and EUH2STARS, we can create the potential for large-volume and seasonal hydrogen storage and accelerate the transition to a CO2-free future. Only with these hydrogen storage demonstration projects it will be possible to scale up and contribute to a year-round energy supply.
H2eart for Europe was launched in January 2024 by a group of leading storage service operators. H2eart for Europe works with a shared vision to develop and build the storage infrastructure needed to achieve Europe's climate targets by 2030 and beyond.
We recognize the central role of hydrogen and the associated storage infrastructure for a CO2-free Europe and are confident that we are able to drive the scale-up of projects and attract investment that is critical to the growth of this important sector.

Marketing of capacities of the Haidach gas storage facility
RAG Austria AG as the technical operator of the Haidach storage facility has received a marketing order from the regulatory authority E-Control for part of the storage capacities in the Haidach storage facility - amounting to about 14 TWh working gas volume. This marketing task will be carried out by RAG Energy Storage GmbH (100% subsidiary of RAG Austria AG).
The energy storage facilities operated by RAG Austria AG are among the most modern in Europe, thanks to decades of experience and the highest environmental and safety standards in planning, construction and operation. Especially in the current energy policy situation, it is particularly important that the storage facilities are optimally maintained and in operation at all times - around the clock - in order to store the energy supplied and to make it available at full capacity when it is needed.

Europe’s energy supply sector is facing an exciting future.
Natural gas and gas infrastructure will play a central role in this new era. Gas storage facilities will have a particularly important part to play, owing to the demand for flexibility created by diverse and volatile energy sources and increased reliance on energy trading.
This business will also focus on the sustainable use of natural gas infrastructure. New technologies such as “power to gas” enable converting surplus wind and solar energy into hydrogen or methane, thereby producing renewable green gas. This means that in future our storage facilities will hold not just natural gas but also hydrogen.
