Rail is running out of time and energy holds the key.

Across the UK, the rail and energy sectors are facing the same crisis from opposite ends. Rail isn’t decarbonising fast enough and the energy sector cannot move clean power to where it’s needed.

Energy for Rail has been created and developed by Enspired and Vanguard. This collaboration sets out how a cross-sector strategy can unlock cleaner traction, smarter infrastructure and a more resilient national system that delivers far more together than either sector can achieve alone.

Yet despite this shared challenge, these two major industries operate in silos. Each stuck with constraints the other could help solve.

Energy For Rail exists to change that.

Our new white paper sets outs why the UK must finally treat rail and energy as one connected ecosystem and how doing so can unlock national decarbonisation, regional growth and new commercial opportunities for businesses across both sectors.

This isn't a theory. It’s an urgent, evidence-based call to action.
