Tianjin Port marks new milestone with over 200 million kWh new energy power generation
August 30 2024 - 1:12AM
North China's Tianjin Port saw another milestone in its green port
construction on Aug. 27, as the cumulative power generation from
wind and solar energy equipment surpassed 200 million
kilowatt-hours.
The power generation accounts for about 40 percent of
Tianjin Port's annual electricity consumption, which can meet the
energy needs of over 260 large-scale facilities and equipment,
including gantry cranes, for more than a year.
As of now, Tianjin Port has put into operation 15 wind turbines
and 4 photovoltaic power stations with a total installed capacity
of 78 megawatts. Its annual power generation capacity reaches
180 million kilowatt-hours.
Compared to thermal power plants with the same installed
capacity, these new energy facilities can reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by approximately 150,000 tonnes annually, which is
equivalent to providing electricity for 450,000 households for a
year. The environmental benefits of this achievement are comparable
to planting over 1.2 million trees.
Since the beginning of this year, Tianjin Port (Group) Co.,
Ltd. has been steadfastly advancing the integrated
"investment-construction-operation" plan and the comprehensive
management of "generation-transmission-utilization" chain in
new energy power generation.
Such efforts include promoting the clean transformation of
energy supply, implementing the electrification of port equipment,
and continuously improving the intelligent energy management and
control system.
By 2024, the number of shore power connections for vessels at
Tianjin Port is expected to exceed 380, with a total supply
duration exceeding 7,780 hours and a supply capacity reaching 4.82
million kilowatt-hours. This will represent a year-on-year growth
of 88 percent in the number of connections, 94 percent in supply
duration, and 46 percent in supply capacity, surpassing other
coastal ports in China.
In addition, Tianjin Port has been promoting the construction of
new energy generation projects within the port area.
It is expected that by the end of 2025, the installed capacity
of the new energy generation system throughout the port will reach
150 megawatts, with an annual power generation capacity of
nearly 300 million kilowatt-hours.
