DP World has executed the open access sourcing of green power at its Nhava Sheva terminals, Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal and Nhava Sheva India Gateway Terminal, starting from 1 July 2024. Electricity generated remotely is integrated into the state grid, supplying power to NSICT and NSIGT. The open access sourcing of green power initiative, with a cumulative capacity of 11 MW, is expected to replace approximately 75 per cent of conventional energy needs at NSICT and 80 per cent at NSIGT. This will lead to a 50 per cent reduction in C02 emissions. “The execution of open access sourcing of green power at DP World’s Nhava Sheva terminals is a pivotal step towards achieving our sustainability goals. This exemplifies our commitment to environmentally compatible designs and resilient infrastructure. By integrating green energy, we are reducing our carbon footprint, in line with the Government’s Maritime India Vision 2030. Our approach with Green Port Guidelines includes employing best practices and electrification of equipment, maximising clean energy use, and adhering to the ‘Working with Nature’ concept,” Ravinder Johal, Chief Operating Officer, Ports & Terminals, Operations and Commercial, DP World, Subcontinent, Middle East, and North Africa, said.
