DP World launches pilot project to harness solar power at busy India terminal

DP World has inaugurated a pilot solar power system at its busiest Indian facility, Nhava Sheva, which it says will ultimately allow the Mumbai terminal to harness solar energy for nearly all of its energy needs.
DP World launches pilot project to harness solar power at busy India terminal

 

The solar power system has a capacity of 3,000 watts and has been set up at the engineering workshop within the DP World Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port.

The state-of-the-art system is equipped with photovoltaic panels on the workshop roof, ensuring optimum access to readily available solar energy.

“This is a commendable initiative from the NSICT management showing leadership in integrating renewable energy into our sites, and an example of good stewardship,” said Anil Singh, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DP World Subcontinent Region. “This energy sustainability project is in line with DP World’s overall commitment to preserving the environment in all communities in which we operate.”

With the new solar power system switched on, various areas within the terminal such as the engineering offices, stores, locker rooms and sections of the workshop will no longer be dependent on purchased grid electricity. The system is designed to provide uninterrupted electricity supply.

The solar power system will reduce the terminal’s annual power consumption by around 14,000 kWh (kilowatts per hour).

Once tested, the project will be implemented on a larger scale, contributing greatly towards a more sustainable energy portfolio at the facility and reducing the site’s carbon footprint.

“DP World Nhava Sheva is committed to following sustainable business practices that support energy conservation,” said Alpesh Sharma, CEO, DP World Nhava Sheva. “This solar power system will actively reduce greenhouse gas emissions at our marine terminal and help in cutting operational costs and contribute towards maintaining a cleaner environment.”
