Trains to be powered by all renewable electricity

Swiss Federal Railways says all electricity it uses for powering its trains will come from sustainable sources from January.

Most of the power will come from hydroelectric stations – the rest will be renewable energy bought from the market.

Until now, 90% has been renewable – the last 10% is nuclear. But that will be cut next year.

The SBB says the switch is part of its sustainable development strategy.
