Now the second wind turbine has also got its blades. This is what the two new 120 m high wind turbines look like in Europe’s most sustainable RoRo port!
The two wind turbines will be 120 meters high up to the tip of the wings and they will produce about 15 million kWh per year. With the establishment of its own wind turbines, the port will be self-sufficient in self-produced energy, that will supply the port’s future energy needs such as, for example, shore power of vessels.
The wind turbines are one of the activities in the port’s EU project “Green FIT 2025”, which is co-financed by the EU.
The “Green FIT 2025” project includes works implemented during 2021-2024. The port builds two new large berths for next-generation Ro-Pax vessels and installs shore-side electricity connections. Also, it secures supply of clean energy for ships, port operations (and city hydrogen production) by installing two wind turbines. At the new berths, two wastewater reception facilities are deployed. A port wastewater treatment plant is constructed to allow for management of ship waste in an environmentally friendly manner. The port rail connections are reconstructed in a new layout, to ensure a faster handling of intermodal trains.
