The Ports of Grimsby and Immingham will be the first onshore wind projects for consultation with a generation capacity potentially up to 36MW. Plans are being developed for up to four turbines at Grimsby (up to 24MW) and at least two at Immingham (up to 12MW).\u202f<\/p>\n
\u201cThis application for onshore wind is serving to establish ABP as a greener part of the supply chain,\u201d said Simon Bird, regional director for ABP Humber.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe presence of wind turbines within the port estate reflects the innovation of our ports and shows our commitment and investment to becoming sustainable. It is our intention to also develop turbines at our Port of Hull.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n
Green commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n The announcement comes after the National Grid announced at the start of the year that Great Britain had produced a record amount of wind-powered electricity with 21.6GW in power being generated.<\/p>\n Onshore wind will contribute to ABP\u2019s decarbonisation journey being able to generate 24 hours a day and give more power in winter than summer.\u202f<\/p>\n ABP supports government ambitions to achieving net zero and recently launched its own GB\u00a32 billion plan for Energy Transition growth and Net Zero 2040, Called Ready for Tomorrow.\u202f<\/p>\n The operator has reduced its own CO2 emissions by over 35% since 2014 and invested over GB\u00a355 million in sustainability measures, which includes the largest commercial rooftop solar array in the UK at the Port of Hull.\u202f<\/p>\n Members of the public will be able to view and comment on the plans in due course.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Associated British Ports (ABP) is consulting with stakeholders on plans to install several onshore wind turbines to make the UK Humber ports greener and more resilient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,8],"tags":[502,566,148,158,485,181],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-abp-humber","tag-associated-british-ports","tag-energy","tag-onshore-wind","tag-projects","tag-renewable-energy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3144"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3146,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3144\/revisions\/3146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3144"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
