Prof. Dr. Gerald Linke confirmed in office as Chairman of the DVGW Executive Board for a further five years

At its meeting in Dresden on November 29, the DVGW Executive Committee agreed to an early contract extension until 2029.  

"I see the renewed appointment as a great vote of confidence, for which I am very grateful", said Gerald Linke. "I am delighted to be able to continue to take responsibility for the sustainable direction of the energy and water industry. It will continue to be important for the DVGW to contribute technical and scientific expertise to regulatory decision-making processes and to be heard by society as a whole. Because only by exploiting this potential will we be best equipped to meet the complex challenges in Germany in connection with a climate-friendly and resilient energy and water supply." 

DVGW President Jörg Höhler explains: "Gerald Linke is successfully driving the further development of the DVGW in a supply landscape characterized by upheaval and realignment with his convincing work in terms of both content and strategy. Under his leadership, the DVGW has achieved important milestones for the industry, particularly in the transformation of the gas industry towards climate neutrality with hydrogen."
