DP World which pumped nearly $1.91 billion into ports management projects worldwide to become the world’s third largest private sea port investor, has inaugurated a pilot solar power system at its busiest Indian facility, Nhava Sheva, which will allow the Mumbai terminal to harness solar energy for its energy requirements. With the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide, the pilot solar power system will reduce the terminal’s annual power consumption by around 14,000 kilowatts per hour. The project will contribute greatly towards a more sustainable energy portfolio and reducing the site’s carbon footprint. Anil Singh, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DP World Subcontinent Region, said: “This is a commendable initiative from the NSICT management showing leadership in integrating renewable energy into our sites, and an example of good stewardship.” 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 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. 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.
