Power.
Traction power (16.7 hertz).
We produce, procure and distribute the electricity needed for rail operations and ensure that it is readily available to our customers at competitive, predictable prices. Over 75% of the energy required comes from hydroelectric sources, and the remaining 25% from nuclear power; our electricity is thus extremely climate-friendly.
Key figures, traction power:
- 12 SBB-owned power and converter stations
- Over 60 substations
- Over 3,000 km of transmission lines
- In-house generation of some 1,900 gigawatt-hours per year
