Off-grid cost of solar-powered container terminals in European ports

4 FAQs about [Off-grid cost of solar-powered container terminals in European ports]

How can ports reduce energy costs?

ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.

Do container ships have shore power?

What is more, only a limited number of container ships are currently equipped with shore power facilities. Together with the ports of Bremen, Hamburg, Haropa and Rotterdam, Port of Antwerp-Bruges is committed to providing shore power for the largest container ships by 2028.

How much does auxiliary power cost in the EU?

Cruise and container vessels are the primary target for most ports’ regulations and EU will start taxing vessels via EU ETS from next year onwards. While moored, 100 [kW] of auxiliary power will cost approx. €150 per day in EU ETS (price of €100 / mT CO2), or €50.000+ per year. Calculate your EU ETS costs here. Not all ports are available.

Can ships plug into the local electricity grid while docked?

This measure will allow ships to plug into the local electricity grid while docked, replacing the use of fossil-fuel auxiliary engines and reducing harmful emissions. The study by DNV on behalf of T&E shows that only one in five required onshore power supply (OPS) connections is currently installed or contracted, with slow uptake across most ports.
