Energy Consumption
In efforts to save energy and increase energy efficiency in 2018, FPC continued its focused activities reducing operating costs of fuel and energy management while introducing new resource and energy-saving technologies.
FPC reduced its energy consumption and improved its energy efficiency through the following projects:
- procured new, advanced, and energy-efficient rolling stock
- installed energy-saving technologies such as LEDs and smart lighting systems at FPC’s depots and sites
- upgraded boiler facilities by installing advanced and more efficient boilers
- equipped FPC’s buildings and structures with meters for water consumption and discharge, electricity, and heat energy
- installed high-voltage charging points at passenger train preparation sites across branches
- optimised passenger carriage depots and sites.
