Implementation of performance and financing agreement

The maintenance and modernization of the existing infrastructure is being continued with the Performance and Financing Agreement (LuFV) III. Another capital expenditure priority in 2024 was the renovation of the superstructure (tracks and switches). Noticeable price increases pose challenges for the modernization of the existing infrastructure. Against this backdrop, existing network financing for 2024 was significantly increased by the conclusion of the first supplement to LuFV III. The adoption of the BSWAG amendment has created the prerequisite that financing for maintenance expenses for the years 2023 and 2024 can also be agreed in a further supplement to the existing LuFV III. This supplement was also signed and approved by the Budgetary Committee. In addition, a third supplement is supposed to take into account the increased financing requirements for the maintenance and modernization of the existing network in the years 2025 to 2027. It is sought to replace the LuFV III with a further developed agreement (InfraGO Performance Agreement), which is to be negotiated with the Federal Government in 2025.
