The terminal has commissioned a 10.65 MW captive solar power plant under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with O2 Power. The power plant has a capacity to generate over 21 GWh of electricity annually, which is sufficient to power critical infrastructure such as the terminal’s quay cranes and reefers. Unmesh Sharad Wagh, IRS, Chairman, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority, commented, the development is in line with the port’s vision of making all the terminals green in the next two years.
By adopting renewable energy, APM Terminals Mumbai anticipates reducing its CO2 equivalent emissions by more than 15,000 tonnes annually, achieving a 41% decrease in carbon emissions.
