Northeast Corridor Energy Usage and Demand Study
Northeast Corridor Energy Usage and Demand Study Taking charge of energy costs. Amtrak and Metro-North, two owners and operators of Northeast Corridor traction power systems between Washington and Boston, needed to determine the most equitable allocation of their $100 million annual electric bills. LTK was selected by Amtrak and five of its Northeast Corridor (NEC) commuter rail partners to conduct a comprehensive simulation-based NEC Energy Usage Study. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the percent allocation of electric traction costs for each of the NEC rail operators, including Amtrak, MARC, Delaware DOT , SEPTA and NJ Transit on the South End. On the New Haven Line, the analysis will determine the percent allocation between Metro- North and Amtrak. The work by LTK reflected
