The port of Trelleborg has made a deal with ENERCON to install their wind turbines, in order for the port to provide shore power from a renewable source.
As informed, the port operator is installing two E-82/2.35 MW WECs in order to supply ships located at the port with green shore-side power in future. Together with an own solar park, they are expected to meet the energy requirements of Scandinavia’s largest RoRo port.
The wind turbine supply contract is part of an ambitious renewables strategy aimed at making the Port of Trelleborg the most sustainable Ro-Ro port in Europe. From 2030 onwards, all ships moored in Trelleborg are to be supplied with green shore-side power.
The supply contract comprises two E-82 E4 with a nominal power of 2.35 MW, which are installed on 78-metre steel towers and are equipped with ENERCON’s rotor blade de-icing system. An EPK full maintenance contract has been concluded for both WECs. They are set to be commissioned at the turn of 2024/25.
The port operator expects an annual energy yield of around 15 million kilowatt-hours in total.
The project is a prime example of how we, as an industry partner, can supply clean energy produced locally by our turbines to the transport sector. This is how we are driving the energy transition in Europe together.
