# Electrification of the rail network – Denmark

![Electrification of the rail network – Denmark](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/denmark-electrification-scaled.jpg)

**In Denmark, the electrification of the rail network is continuing with SYSTRA. Since 2013, the Group has been assisting Banedanmark, the country’s rail infrastructure manager, with this gigantic programme involving 1,300km of lines to be equipped, with the very first electrified section inaugurated in 2017.**

### A WIDE RANGE OF BENEFITS

The aim of this electrification programme is to prepare for the replacement of
rolling stock with electric trains. These are part of an overall approach to
Denmark’s transition to electromobility, to the benefit of the environment.
Advantages are also expected in terms of operating safety, efficiency and
network reliability.

### INVOLVED IN ALL PHASES OF THE PROGRAMME

- Definition of the tender strategy
- Tender preparation: functional and technical specifications
- Bid evaluation
- Electrical scoping of the new Danish electrified rail network
- Planning certificates/review of design studies
- Systems integration
- Management of interfaces
- Management of contracts
- PMO – Project Management Office
- Testing & Commissioning
