The foremost aim of the European Railway Energy Settlement System (ERESS) is to provide efficient, reliable, accurate and flexible settlement and billing systems.
Both for the current and the future railway market where most trains will be equipped with meters and many different train operators will use the railways.
Another important feature is to make energy data available to the customers in order for them to understand and reduce their energy consumption.
Since 2007 the ERESS has been fully operational and a significant energy saving potential has been realised.
ERESS is an open partnership based on a non-profit agreement.
