en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port Authority of Almería, Spain, has completed a 660 kW self-consumption photovoltaic solar power plant on the roof of the warehouse at Dock No. 2 of La Ribera.

This project is part of the decarbonization strategy outlined in the Port Authority's "2024-2030 Sustainable Development Strategic Plan." It is estimated that the plant will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 247 tons annually, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of 25 hectares of forest. The Port Authority invested a total of €615,108 in this facility.

Combined with the 80 kW plant built at the border inspection post in 2025 and the 98 kW plant at the passenger terminal, the authority will generate clean energy roughly equivalent to its direct consumption at the Port of Almería, achieving near net balance.

The implementation of the La Ribera No. 2 photovoltaic power plant brings the Port Authority closer to its goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions, specifically achieving a zero carbon footprint in direct electricity consumption. This goal will be ultimately completed with the planned self-consumption photovoltaic plant at Dock No. 1 of La Ribera, which covers an area of over 1 hectare and has a rated power of 855 kW. This plant will be put out to tender in the coming weeks. At that point, 100% of the electricity directly consumed by the Port Authority of Almería will come from renewable energy sources.
