The Swedish seaport has commissioned Takorama Elteknik with the installation of a 4.0MWh power bank near its ferry berth 8.
Completion of the project is expected by 1 December 2026 at the latest.
The Port of Trelleborg generates its own electricity through two wind turbines, some 15 million kWh/year, plus another half a million from the 2,200 m2 photovoltaic farm. The stored energy will be used to cut power peaks, e.g., when multiple vessels connect to the seaport's onshore power supply (OPS). Following the recent addition of two OPS stations, up to six ferries now have the possibility to cold iron simultaneously.
"We are pleased to be entrusted with carrying out this project, a strategically important investment that shows how ports can take active responsibility for energy supply. The Port of Trelleborg is at the forefront and is doing something that many others will also need to do to meet future EU requirements for shore power and sustainable operations. We look forward to delivering a solution that combines high technical quality with concrete climate benefits," highlighted Mikael Johansson, CEO of Takorama Elteknik.
