en.Wedoany.com Reported - Associated British Ports (ABP) plans to build an onshore wind farm within the Port of Hull, with public consultations held on June 30 and July 29.

The proposal involves installing a wind turbine with a capacity of up to 5 MW at the Port of Hull, supplementing two turbines that were submitted for preliminary approval in March 2024. If all turbines are permitted and constructed, there will be a total of three wind turbines within the port area.

ABP stated that these turbines are crucial for controlling electricity costs and directly decarbonizing port power, expecting them to lay the foundation for industrial growth. Since 2014, the port operator has reduced its emissions by over 40% and continues to lower Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions through operational efficiency and electrification.

ABP noted that renewable energy generation at the port is a key part of this ongoing emission reduction process, while also enhancing energy resilience and competitiveness. For example, the Port of Hull has one of the UK's largest commercial rooftop solar photovoltaic installations, and 18 of ABP's 21 ports are undertaking renewable energy projects. In addition to renewable energy generation, ABP continues to invest in electric vehicles and cranes across the group, as well as a new, more energy-efficient fleet of pilot boats. ABP's sustainability strategy combines the decarbonization of port operations with a broader role in promoting industrial and energy transition projects, including offshore wind and carbon capture.
