OPUS TIGÁZ Zrt. Dokumentumok

1925: Natural gas gushes to the surface in Hajdúszoboszló.

1950: The City Council established the Hajdúszoboszló Natural Gas Production and Sales Utility Company to sell the natural gas that comes to the surface.

1967: The former Council-owned company – then called Tiszántúli Gázszolgáltató és Szerelő Vállalat – was integrated into OKGT, merging the Debrecen and Miskolc gas plants. The company's complex range of activities included gas pipeline construction, gas supply, the distribution and repair of gas equipment, internal gas installation and other gas industrial services (e.g. LPG).

1986: Rapid technological progress and growing gas consumption doubled the company's net sales. In the late 1970’s, the oil crisis led to an intensive expansion of the gas network and the connection of consumers to natural gas supply.

1993: TIGÁZ Tiszántúli Gázszolgáltató Részvénytársaság was established.

1994: A new act on gas supply entered into force. The government of the day decided on the principles for the privatisation of strategic sectors. Up to the late 1990’s, the distribution network development had been intense, and the number of customer connections and, with them, the number of customers, had increased steadily. The Company developed its organisation to meet the increased demand.

1995: Following privatisation, TIGÁZ Rt. joined the internationally renowned energy group, the Italian ENI.

2007: In line with the EU Directives, the legal separation of the Company's core activities took place: from that time on the tasks related to natural gas distribution were performed by TIGÁZ-DSO Kft., while universal services and natural gas trading were done by TIGÁZ Zrt.

2018: TIGÁZ discontinued its universal service activities and the operation and professional management of the company was transferred to the MET Group. This marked the start of a major modernisation process to increase efficiency and improve competitiveness.

2019: The Swiss-based MET Group signed a share subscription agreement with Status Energy Group for a capital increase. Under the partnership agreement, Status Energy Private Equity Fund's subsidiary Status Energy Kft. indirectly acquired a 49.57 percent stake in TIGÁZ Zrt. Predictable operations and efficiency improvements remained the key governance priorities, and investments in modernisation continued.
