We are also working with Endesa X to make the Port of Cadiz the first port in Spain to offer electricity to cruise ships. Our subsidiary has already applied to the Port Authority of the Bay of Cadiz for the concession to install and operate the first OPS facility at the Alfonso quay XIII. “The idea is to further promote decarbonisation.
Ports such as Valencia, Vigo and Castellón already have this accreditation. “The goal is for all Spanish ports to be electrified by 2030”. It is also important to highlight the willingness of the Spanish private sector to invest, and this is where Endesa comes in.
The electrification of seaports is a key part of our transition to renewable energy. As the commercial manager of port terminals, "we are committed to ensuring that the domestic and industrial sectors are supplied with 100% renewable energies, as well as facilitating the path to decarbonisation of transport".
We want to help ports to electrify so that ships can be connected to the electricity grid when they arrive in port, instead of emitting CO2 and consuming diesel,” explains Álvaro Otaolaurruchi, B2B director at Endesa X.
