This tram, which runs on electricity supplied by high-voltage cables, transports thousands of passengers every day between Utrecht Centraal and Nieuwegein. Last summer, however, problems arose here, when a number of high-voltage cables were damaged during excavation work. The recovery was expected to take several weeks, with the tram unable to be powered. Of course, it is not desirable to shut down such an important tram line, so an alternative power solution had to be sought. The City asked the help of Engie Bredenoord for this. 21-04-2021 ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/economical-and-clean-power-solution/ "Economical and clean power solution for huge peak demand in the city centre of Utrecht")[![Fehmarnbelt tunnel Denmark Infrastructure project](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvRmVobWFybmJlbHQtdHVubmVsLURlbm1hcmsuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pemVTY2FucyI6dHJ1ZX0sInJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6Mzc1LCJoZWlnaHQiOjIyOSwiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifX19) ## Fehmarnbelt tunnel.

That is especially the case for a Data & Cloud Center, such as Interconnect. Interconnect’s two data centers have a total floor surface of 8,000 m2, which makes this Tier 3+ data center the largest in the south of the Netherlands. A good backup power system is crucial.

This has been demonstrated in a pilot project with client Open Dutch Fiber (ODF). By running generators only when power is needed, fuel consumption – and consequently CO₂ emissions – is significantly reduced. The reduced operating hours also result in less odour and noise pollution. Furthermore, less fuel transport to the project sites is required.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/cases/emissions-reduction-through-data-driven-control-of-generators/ "Emissions reduction through data-driven control of generators")[![Bredenoord-battery-box-drilling-under-the-train-tracks](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvQ2FzZS1IZWFkZXItUmFpbHdheS1Xb3Jrcy5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgyLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozNzUsImhlaWdodCI6Mzc1LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0=) ### A zero-emission drilling under the train tracks in Amersfoort More and more often projects take place on locations without grid access and in many of these situations setting up a genset no longer suffices: the rules surrounding local emissions can pose a challenge.
