	Proportion of traction current from renewable sources	%	100.0	97.1	99.1	91.9	91.4	-0.5
Proportion of traction current from renewable sources SBB is expecting a multi-year average of 90 per cent for renewable energy in its traction current. The effective share depends amongst other things on the hydroelectric power produced, which fluctuates year on year with the natural water flows and plant inspections.
