The proposed development would see one turbine of up to 5MW installed at the port, adding to two turbines already submitted for planning approval in March 2024.<\/p>\n
If all three turbines are consented and constructed, the Port of Hull could host up to 13MW of installed wind power capacity to support decarbonisation and energy resilience across port operations.<\/p>\n
Energy transition<\/strong><\/p>\n ABP said the turbines are intended to help manage electricity costs, directly decarbonise port electricity consumption and support future industrial growth linked to the Humber\u2019s energy transition ambitions.<\/p>\n The operator has reduced emissions by more than 40% since 2014 through operational efficiency measures and ongoing port electrification projects.<\/p>\n Renewable energy deployment across its estate forms a central part of its sustainability strategy, alongside investments in electric vehicles, electric cranes and more fuel-efficient pilot boats.<\/p>\n Port of Hull already hosts one of the UK\u2019s largest commercial rooftop solar arrays and is among 18 of ABP\u2019s 21 ports with renewable energy projects on site.<\/p>\n ABP\u2019s broader sustainability strategy combines decarbonisation of port operations with enabling infrastructure for offshore wind, carbon capture and wider industrial transition projects.<\/p>\n The operator has launched a public consultation programme to gather feedback on the latest proposal.<\/p>\n Consultation sessions will take place at The Freedom Centre on Preston Road, Hull between 12:30pm and 7pm on 30 June and 29 July 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Associated British Ports (ABP) is progressing plans for an additional onshore wind turbine at the Port of Hull as part of its wider port renewables and electrification strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,8],"tags":[28,637,539,1035,181,337],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-abp","tag-port-electrification","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-port-of-hull","tag-renewable-energy","tag-wind-power"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431","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=6431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6433,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6431\/revisions\/6433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6431"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
