Annual Report 2025 – ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG

ÖBB-Infrastruktur Aktiengesellschaft Group Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements 66 Target Increase ÖBB’s level of self-sufficiency from renewable energies to 80% in the traction current sector by 2030+ Reduction in GHG emissions *) Economic activity EU Taxonomy Status Target scope The level of self-sufficiency refers to ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG’s own production of renewable energy and the purchase of renewable energy from partner power plants. The target relates to the rail electricity sector. in implementation phase Methodology This target forms part of the energy strategy adopted in 2023. Measure Expansion of PV programme 16.7 Hz In 2025, three additional 16.7 Hz photovoltaic installations were commissioned. One of these was implemented as an agrivoltaic system, which serves as a grazing area for chickens and sheep in addition to generating energy. In the future, the photovoltaic systems will generate an annual energy yield of approximately 44 GWh. Due to its proximity to the railway, the 16.7 Hertz traction current produced can be fed directly into the overhead line. Over the next few years, further systems will be built on an ongoing basis in line with the energy strategy. n. a. CCM/CCA 4.1. in implementation phase Expansion of hydropower The measures to increase in-house hydroelectric power generation include the construction of the Tauernmoos pumped-storage power station (due to be commissioned in 2028), repowering of existing plants (e.g. the Schneiderau and Rosenbach power stations) and the utilisation of residual water potential at the sites through the construction of small-scale hydroelectric power stations. n. a. CCM/CCA 4.5. & 04:10. in implementation phase *) As additional purchases of traction and three-phase current were already converted to 100% electricity from renewable energy in 2018 and 2019, an increase in the level of self-sufficiency does not contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions. Target 25% increase in internal energy efficiency by 2030+ Reduction in GHG emissions *) Economic activity EU Taxonomy Status Target scope Internal energy efficiency is defined as the energy requirements of the ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group in relation to the train kilometres travelled on the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG network. in implementation phase Methodology This target forms part of the energy strategy adopted in 2023. Measure Energy efficiency programme Ongoing measures such as the procurement of new electric vehicles, the conversion to LED or the refurbishment of residential buildings for employees contribute to a reduction in the specific energy requirements of the infrastructure. The cumulative savings effects of all individual measures lead to an increase in energy efficiency in line with the target by 2030+. n. a. CCM/CCA 7.3. in implementation phase *) The increase in internal energy efficiency is achieved by reducing or stabilising total energy consumption while increasing capacities. To avoid double counting the savings effect of the individual energy-saving measures, no absolute GHG reduction can be assigned to the energy efficiency programme. Target Increasing the level of electrification to 80% by 2030 Reduction in GHG emissions Economic activity EU Taxonomy Status Target scope Electrified route kilometres in the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG network in relation to the total route length of the network. A route is electrified if it is fully suitable for operation with electric vehicles. in implementation phase Methodology Adjustment of the target compared with the previous year due to the review and postponement of projects under the framework plan. Measure Multi-phase electrification plan The implementation of the multi-phase electrification plan includes, among other things Creation of the conditions required for alternative drive technologies (e.g. battery-powered railcars) on branch lines and in shunting areas, as well as implementation of further electrification measures on railway lines. n. a.
