2018 Integrated Interim Report – Departure into a new era!

Markets and strategy

Realignment of the business unit strategy

The new strategy “Departure into the DB EnergyTransition” focuses on DB Netze Energy’s contribution to meeting DB Group’s CO₂ targets and addresses the following areas of action: making traction current green, replacing diesel on road and rail and energy efficiency in DB premises and properties. Alongside the strategic measures, the strategy also showcases the economic challenges posed by making traction current green, replacing diesel on road and rail and recent trends in the energy industry. Against this backdrop, we plan to renegotiate energy supply contracts, clarify fund­­ing issues and challenge the current business model. Our aim is to become a provider of complex services.
