A building permit has been granted for erecting two 120 m tall wind turbines in the Port of Trelleborg, expected to start swirling in 2024.

The pair will produce about 15m kWh/year.

Together with the port's 2.2k m2 solar park, the turbines will deliver more green energy than it consumes. As such, electricity will also be used for the Municipality of Trelleborg's hydrogen investment.

"Together with Trelleborgs Energi, we are now working to find the best design and how to ensure green hydrogen for the upcoming truck traffic powered by hydrogen in the future," said Jörgen Nilsson, the Port of Trelleborg's CEO.

The wind turbines are one of the activities in the port's EU Green FIT 2025 project, co-financed by the EU.

The Port of Trelleborg intends to reach net zero emissions by 2040.

H2X and Trelleborg Energi will deliver hydrogen buses and a waste truck for the Swedish municipality.
