Germany’s Enercon GmbH has secured a contract to supply two 2.35-MW wind turbines to Sweden’s Port of Trelleborg for its green shore powering project, the companies announced on Friday.
The agreement includes the delivery of two of Enercon’s E-82 E4 turbines and a full maintenance service for the pair. The machines will be installed on 78-metre (255.9 ft) steel towers and will be equipped with Enercon’s rotor blade de-icing system.
The wind turbines will be installed at the new port on a 500-metre-long quay. Their commissioning is expected to occur at the turn of 2024-2025.
The Port of Trelleborg expects the turbines to produce around 15 GWh of electricity per year.
The wind turbine installation is part of the Port’s Green FIT 2025 project, co-financed by the EU. Sweden’s southernmost port aims to be Europe’s most sustainable RoRo port and reach net zero by 2040. From 2030, all vessels that dock at the Port of Trelleborg will have to be connected to the shore power.
“The new wind turbines, together with the Port of Trelleborg’s own solar park of 2,200 square meters, will produce more green energy than we consume,” said Ulf Sonesson, Landlord at Port of Trelleborg.
