In 2024, 86% of the port\u2019s electricity came from renewable and zero-carbon sources, with 62% of its port energy supply generated from renewable energy such as solar energy, geothermal and biomass.<\/p>\n
An additional 24% came from large hydroelectric power, nearly doubling California\u2019s Renewable Portfolio Standard target of 44%.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis milestone reflects our continued commitment to building a resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy portfolio for the Port and its tenants,\u201d said Andre Basler, utilities director at the Port of Oakland.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven in the face of market challenges, we remain focused on sourcing sustainable power that reduces emissions and supports California\u2019s energy goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Port energy<\/strong><\/p>\n The port also finalised a 20-year energy storage services agreement with Trolley Pass Project LLC to further strengthen its port energy supply and optimise the use of solar energy.<\/p>\n Under this agreement, the port will receive four megawatts of storage capacity from a 400-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) facility in San Bernardino County, at a cost not exceeding AUS$13.3 million.<\/p>\n This initiative aligns with the port\u2019s strategic plan to achieve zero emissions and expand port electrification across its facilities.<\/p>\n By investing in renewable energy and hydroelectric power, the Port of Oakland said it continues to lead the way in sustainable port operations, supporting California\u2019s Senate Bill 100 mandate for 100% clean electricity by 2045.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Port of Oakland has achieved a record year for clean energy, marking a major milestone in port electrification and renewable energy plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[2355,637,206,181,48,166],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-hydroelectric-power","tag-port-electrification","tag-port-of-oakland","tag-renewable-energy","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-solar-power"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5837","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=5837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5839,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5837\/revisions\/5839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5837"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
