Jernbaneverket’s in-house power supplier, BaneEnergi, initiated the development of ERESS (European Railway Energy Settlement System).
The system is used for metering, settling and invoicing of the electric energy consumption of trains in several Europeans countries, and is leading within its field in Europe.
NSB AS reduced the energy consumption of their trains by 18 per cent in the period with the help of ERESS.
