Railway electricity
Optimized railway electricity from trawa – 100% green, cost-effective, and tailored to your business.
High energy costs threaten the profitability of German railyway companies
2
Feedback and expensive compensating energy
Deviations between forecasts and actual consumption must be balanced in almost real time and can become very costly.
3
Sustainability goals & CO₂ reduction
Stricter regulations and customer requirements demand greener, more efficient energy use.
This is how passenger rail and cargo companies benefit from green railway electricity.
Tailored procurement with 100% green energy
Competitive energy prices through the combination of PPAs, spot and futures markets, tailored to your rail power profile.
Representation of virtual metering points, fast billing
All consumption data is displayed digitally and transparently in the central energy management portal.
No balancing energy risk
The balancing energy is transparently represented through the service fee. This means full cost control and high flexibility for you.
10-30% cost savings
Annual recurring savings through software-based procurement optimization and trading on energy markets.
Safety and low prices
Off-the-shelf is not a strategy: With trawa, you benefit from a customized electricity purchasing strategy from day one. Based on your individual electricity consumption, we create an optimal portfolio of different electricity products for you. This includes direct supply contracts with German wind and solar parks (so-called PPAs), medium-term procurement on the futures market, and daily purchases on the energy exchange.
Local rail passenger transport (SPNV)
Data management and cost optimization in the 16.7 Hz grid
In regional rail transport, timetable periods, dense schedules, and circulation planning determine the traction-relevant load profile with significant peak windows. We control balancing areas and intraday corrections based on the assigned timetable routes and circulations, reduce compensation energy costs, and deliver 100% green electricity with certified proof of origin.
Rail freight transport (SGV/Cargo)
Flexible energy procurement for freight transport railway companies
In the SGV, variable cycles, slot shifts, and short-term redirect traffic shape the load profile – forecasting and balance circle management must be robust against operational changes. We combine PPAs and structured tranches with intraday flexibility and reduce balancing energy costs even with irregular performance profiles.
