The Piraeus Port first solar park generating energy using photovoltaic panels has been put into operation, generating up to 430 kWp, the Piraeus Port Authority SA announced on Thursday.
The installation in the Piraeus freight port is 1,080 metres in length and has been linked up to the Public Power Corporation electricity grid since Tuesday. It was implemented through an open international tender and installed in Neo Ikonio, the most power-hungry section of the port where the cranes loading, unloading and stacking containers are based.
PPA noted that the installation will provide 635,000 ‘green’ kWh per year to the electricity grid, corresponding to 635 tonnes of CO2 emissions that are avoided.
