The Catalan Port of Tarragona has extended the concession that Ership has at its base on the Moll d’Aragó for a further ten years, until 25 November 2038. This has been linked to a major project to install photovoltaic panels across the terminal. The project has a budget of €2,635,000. The solar panels will be installed on warehouses A11, A13 and A15, which are currently used to store dry bulk commodities and breakbulk goods.
The existing concession is for a 50,000 m² terminal, which will henceforth contribute substantially in the generation of green energy, thereby reducing the overall environmental impact of port operations.
Tarragona already produces electricity using photovoltaic panels on seven port buildings. However, the new Ership initiative is linked to the port’s Sustainability Plan-Agenda 2030, which features a number of sustainable and environmentally friendly actions.
