Energy Efficiency
To improve energy efficiency and reduce the energy intensity of its operations, FPC works to reduce its fuel and energy consumption every year.
In 2020, despite COVID-19 restrictions, the Company continued improving energy efficiency and energy intensity by:
- purchasing new, advanced, and energy-efficient rolling stock
- using energy-saving technologies in the Company’s depot and site lighting systems (LEDs and smart control systems)
- upgrading and converting boilers from liquid fuels to gas
- retrofitting FPC’s buildings and structures with water consumption and discharge, electricity and heat meters
- installing high-voltage charging points at passenger train preparation sites.
