Your power supply specialist

As a supplier of traction current, we offer competent and individual advice on all aspects of mobile power supply. Consumption is measured by means of an approved electricity metre installed on the locomotive. The consumption data are transmitted to our central control centre via radio. Services such as metre reading transmission and evaluation complete our range of services. Location recording via GPS is also possible for locomotives. We also provide power for heating and air-conditioning trains and for point heating systems and supply power for railway stations and operating facilities. In addition, we offer rail transport companies transmission of electricity from third-party networks on our power lines.

Reliable infrastructure

We operate a complex infrastructure to ensure the reliable and fail-safe supply of traction current day and night - seven days a week. One central and four regional monitoring stations monitor and control the 2,000 kilometre-long distribution network and 8,000 kilometres of catenary. One third of the traction current needed in Austria is generated by our eight hydropower plants.
