The first phase of the new solar power park has been installed on top of two warehouses and is already in operation. On sunny days, its energy production fully covers the power needs of two warehouses\u2019 cooling and ventilation equipment as well as a nearby workshop and an office. Surplus energy is used elsewhere in the port.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the completed solar installation, we aim to generate up to more than half of our total electricity consumption ourselves in a sustainable way,\u201d commented Riia Sillave, chief executive of HHLA TK Estonia.<\/p>\n
\u201cCombining the daytime loading operations of our dual power hydrocrane with the solar power, we are operating already CO2 neutral in peak hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first two working solar parks generate an average of 720 kWh per day. In May, the modules produced 46,000 kWh, which helped to cover 50% of the consumption of the general cargo terminal. The expected total production of the facility is 240,000 kWh annually.<\/p>\n
Expansion plans<\/strong><\/p>\n Preparations have begun for two additional solar parks, increasing the terminal\u2019s production of green energy by more than 150%. The combined estimated production will be 640 MWh per year.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this project, HHLA TK Estonia is contributing to the HHLA Group\u2019s goal of being climate neutral by 2040,\u201d Riia Sillave said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hamburger Hafen und Logistik company, HHLA TK Estonia, has built reportedly the largest solar park at the Port of Muuga \u2013 with plans for further expansion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3416,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,34],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-europe-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3415","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=3415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3417,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3415\/revisions\/3417"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3415"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
