‘To accelerate Network Rail’s Energy & Carbon commitments and governmental targets, a programme has been launched aiming to drive and support green initiatives across the organisation. These include the installation of smart metering at managed stations, developing and integrating reduced carbon design and renewables generation and storage.’
The efficient use of energy is critical to the running of today’s railway. Network Rail provides the energy for the whole of the UK rail industry and manages those contractual arrangements with its corporate suppliers. In addition to that key responsibility, Network Rail is a very large consumer in its own right. The information and tools within these pages will help to address the challenges we face and will enable Network Rail to continually reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
我们的挑战
亚搏彩票软件官网网络轨道是一个复杂的组织，并且铁路在多年来发展的方式意味着我们的公用事业网络提供特别复杂。通常，公用事业供应将在不同的组织之间共享，或者供应的起源可能无法知道。直到最近，公用事业管理的管理是集中的，这意味着当地知识有限。在过去几年中，对公用事业管理的管理责任已被剥夺到航线，并进行工作，以提供服务，工具和培训，以帮助途径开始管理其能源和用水有效使用。
关键的挑战啊f effective and responsible energy and carbon management are environmental impact, security of supply and excessive costs; these are outlined below and shown in the Energy Trilemma diagram below.
1. Environmental Impact
能源使用是温室气体排放的主要贡献者之一，气候变化的主要原因。道路和铁路（ORR）办公室在网络轨道上置于规定的目标，以减少最有害的气体排放二氧化碳或二氧化碳，在CP6的过程中将其运营从其运营中的运营亚搏彩票软件官网中的25％。在未来几年中，网络铁路将有责任进一亚搏彩票软件官网步减少温室气体排放，以与国家目标和政府举措进行贡献，并贡献。2008年气候变化法案使政府的长期目标使二氧化碳排放量减少34％至2020，通过立法通过英国碳预算制度随着时间的推移减少英国排放量来减少2020年和100％或净零。我们有责任将我们的努力与这些目标保持一致，以便我们可以限制与能量Trilemma相关的风险。我们的CP6目标是减少25％的排放，并开始工作，以发展超出CP6至2050的长期目标，以使我们的企业反应对气候变化法和COP21协议对齐。
2. Security of supply
To meet our environmental obligations we must reduce our energy use. The ORR has targeted Network Rail to reduce energy use by 18% over the course of CP6. However, ambitious electrification programmes and the broad deployment of digital technologies means our consumption of electricity could increase. To allow for this, our targets in CP6 and beyond will be normalised to allow for such business growth however this growth brings with it other complications. Powering trains with electricity to move trains rather than diesel produces fewer emissions, but the impact of this on the already stretched national electricityinfrastructure网络呈现出不同的挑战。随着从更广泛的轨道电气化等活动的需求增加，英国电力行业的这种挤压将继续，供应安全风险加剧。由于英国的发电远离煤炭和更可持续的来源，煤动力站的关闭呈现出避难所的供应挤压。停电和棕火的风险变得更加普遍 - 对依赖能量交付的铁路网络的危险风险。为了帮助解决这些挑战，我们正在为全国推出的新电力市场改革和能源存储举措制定对其的新电力市场改革和能源存储举措，而不仅仅是为了确保我们的能源供应，并保持我们的业务运行，而且还可以最大限度地提高这些举措的收入发电机会可以带。
3. Cost
有效管理能源使用的主要原因是成本。我们是英国最大的电力消费者之一，以及煤气和水的重要消费者。我们的电气合同牵引(£400 m PA) and non-traction (£60M PA) are, not surprisingly considering their size, market leaders in terms of their conditions and added benefits. But these long-term合同with two of the biggest suppliers in the UK need close management to ensure compliance. We are careful about我们如何购买我们的能量and have a strategic risk management strategy that hedges our exposure.
Despite careful management of our contracts and purchasing energy, energy prices continue to rise due to increased non-commodity charges, such as taxation and other ‘green’ levies, as well as transmission, distribution and grid balancing costs that are associated with the use of electricity.
公用事业预算向路线的划分意味着更严格，局部控制将减少消费。然而，能量和公用事业景观并不是一个容易理解或在内部操作的景观。中央能管理团队负责提供战略愿景和工具，以协助所有业务单位降低能源和用水，碳排放和成本。
