One of the world's largest passenger shipping ports is launching a new microgrid and on-site power project to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency in Sweden. The Ports of Stockholm is working with numerous university and technology partners to develop the onshore power. . The demonstration project for the collaborative effort--connecting wind, solar and battery storage--is starting in the Port of Kapellskär, one of several cargo and passenger ports in the Stockholm shipping system. Ports of Stockholm and its partners are now launching an innovative project that combines onshore power supply (OPS). . Sweden's Ports of Stockholm and its partners have decided to launch a project that combines onshore power supply (OPS) and microgrid technology. The project, called “Innovative Microgrid Design for Sustainable Onshore Power Supply: Port of Stockholm case study”, runs between 2024 and 2027. The Port of Stockholm aims to ensure that all ships use OPS by 2030, but this transition brings challenges for the port's energy infrastructure.
