Business model
DB Energy offers energy products related to traction energy and stationary energy supply. In addition to traction current and diesel, this also includes supply solutions for alternative drives and fuels in rail transport. Stations and other DB Group properties are supplied with electricity, gas and heat. The range of services also includes energy economics-related and technical services.
The traction current grid is the technical backbone of the rail power supply, which DB Energy operates with consistently high supply reliability. The required electricity is fed into the traction current grid from renewable energy sources and traction current power plants, both directly and via convert ers/transformers. To refuel traction units with internal com bustion engines, a nationwide network of diesel and HVO filling stations is being established, some of which can also be used by road vehicles. To enable more climate-friendly rail transport on sections without overhead wires, DB Energy is implementing energy supply solutions for rolling stock using alternative drives. DB Energy also operates 50 Hz medium-voltage grids for the energy supply in stations and pro vides a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles on the road. The infrastructure of DB Energy is subject to different forms of regulation by the Federal Network Agency.
