Background & policy context:
The Action aims at providing the necessary final studies and engineering designs for:
- the development of on-shore power supply technology to the Port of Igoumenitsa,
- the introduction of renewable energy sources to the power system of the Port, and
- the creation of a central power management system that will regulate the energy network of the Port, maximising the environmental and financial profits for the Port and the entire area.
Objectives:
The overall objective of the Action is to help transforming Igoumenitsa Port into an energy hub of the Adriatic-Ionian Sea, providing sustainable solutions for the port maritime and vehicle traffic.
The studies will include aspects such as installing chargers for electric vehicles, assessing different solutions to supply electricity to ships at berth and the integration of Renewable Energy Sources to support the production of clean energy.
