DB Energy is responsible for economically and environmentally efficient energy procurement and for reliable energy provision for train operating companies. DB Energy also has high-performance infrastructure for the provision of electricity and diesel to mobile and stationary consumers.

• More robust: DB Energy relies on resilience and securing of the stable power supply and the ability to act in the event of an accident with pragmatic, intelligent and sustainable solutions. In addition to operational solutions for on-site power generation, this also includes capital expenditures in mobile facilities. OT security, supported by modern means of communication, is becoming increasingly important in this context.
• More powerful: In addition to the two pilot sites, other regional lean excellence projects were launched in 2023. The focus is always on the idea of bringing lean excellence to life and communicating it through positive experiences. Local entry barriers to initial lean measures are lowered in a systematic manner by making a central modernization budget available to the sites.
• More modern: DB Energy ensures the power supply even if the supply of renewable energy is increasingly volatile. This is of increasing relevance, in particular in view of the prospect of increasing traffic volumes. LuFV III provides the financial basis for this, including for the construction of additional converter capacity. The expansion of the traction current grid will be supported by the driving forward of digitalization, for example through the rollout of sensor technology in traction current facilities.
• Greener: DB Energy is a central driver for climate-neutral energy supply of the TOC in Germany. In order to achieve the target of climate neutrality in full by 2040, traction current supply will be switched to renewable energies and climate-friendly high-capacity power plants will be added. Sustainable alternatives are offered for non-electrified lines with charging infrastructure for battery-powered trains, hydrogen supply and biofuel. The climate-friendly biofuel HVO was available at 14 gas stations by the end of 2023.
