List of traction power systems in Austria
Map with all coordinates: List of traction power systems in Austria .
Substations
In these systems, alternating current from the 110 kV 16.7 Hz network of ÖBB Energie AG is transformed down to 15 kV voltage .
There is no conversion of three-phase current into traction current or electricity generation.
This list of 61 substations is complete as of 2013.
Central traction current converter plants
In these systems, three-phase current from the public network is converted into traction current and fed into the traction current network. In some systems there is also a direct feed into the overhead line. The forming can be carried out using machines or electronically

Market liberalization and energy generation
In 2015, the Westbahn company criticized the intransparent pricing of energy and network costs and called for the option of passing traction current, for example when Westbahn procures electricity elsewhere, as well as energy meters in all vehicles on the ÖBB rail network.
In June 2016, Eisenbahn -Control decided that ÖBB-Infrastruktur "had to repay excessively charged fees to various private railways and of course also to its sister company ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG".
According to ÖBB-Infrastruktur itself, around 90% of traction current (energy) in Austria is generated by hydropower, a third of the traction current in 8 hydroelectric power plants owned by ÖBB itself. The first traction current solar power plant in Europe is located south of Vienna, 7,000 solar panels feed energy here the overhead line. ÖBB-Infrastruktur would be one of the most environmentally friendly railway infrastructure operators in Europe.
The ÖBB have opened their traction current network for the transmission of electricity to traction current users. The current terms and conditions are dated January 1st, 2016.
Energy supply on railway ground
On ÖBB property, such as the workshops and shops and businesses rented in train stations, such as post offices, shops and restaurants, the ÖBB infrastructure offers energy in the form of normal mains electricity (three-phase / alternating current 400/230 V, 50 Hz) but also heat, sometimes also cold and natural gas.
