Valenciaport is accelerating its electrification process with a wave power plant and a new solar platform

The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) is accelerating its electrification efforts with two new renewable energy initiatives. The RENMARINAS project, funded by the European Union's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, aims to integrate renewable technologies into the maritime-port environment at the ports of Valencia and Sagunto.

APV has contracted APPLUS NORCONTROL S.L.U. to manage the construction and health and safety aspects of two key projects. One involves installing an electrical energy evacuation system from a floating photovoltaic plant at the Port of Valencia, connecting it to the existing medium-voltage grid. The other project focuses on deploying a wave power plant at the Port of Sagunto and transferring the generated electricity to the medium-voltage grid.

Both contracts are valued at 97,484.42 euros and 94,860.22 euros respectively, including VAT. Each project is expected to take 13 months to complete. By implementing these innovative renewable energy solutions, Valenciaport is advancing towards a more sustainable and efficient port environment, in line with broader energy transition goals.
