PZEM, new supplier NS 

07.09.2023

On Wednesday, September 6th, it was announced that PZEM, in combination with Shell, will provide NS with the supply of electricity for train operations starting from January 1st 2025. NS, on behalf of the rail sector (under the name of cooperative VIVENS and CIEBR), invited the tender. This is a provisional award, which will become final after a 3-week objection period. The contract includes the supply of no less than 1.46 TWh of electricity per year and will run until 2027. 

Niels Unger, CEO of EP NL, stating:

“We are very pleased with the confidence NS has in PZEM. With our employees, we confidently look forward to a successful collaboration in the future.“

Supply conditions
 
NS trains run climate-neutral by purchasing as many Guarantees of Origin (GVOs) on an annual basis as the amount of electricity they consume. The contract with NS states that PZEM supplies the electricity and Shell supplies GVOs that show where the power comes from. This guarantees that as much electricity is generated sustainably in Europe on an annual basis as NS consumes for running trains.
