From 2026, ships docking at the Europa Terminal will be able to switch to electricity from the high-voltage grid via the shore power installation, eliminating the need to generate their own
The installation will provide 7.5 megawatts of green electricity, allowing up to 100 container ships per year to power down their engines and connect to the grid. This initiative is expected to reduce CO2
At present, there are only very few terminals in Europe with operational shore power installations for deep-sea container shipping. Between now and 2030, several projects will be rolled out—some with
Antwerp Euroterminal (AET) has installed the first shore power connection for seagoing vessels in Belgium.
Built to international ISO standards, this will be Belgium''s premier shore power setup for seagoing vessels. Shore power enables ships to connect to the local electricity grid through a
By 2030, these ports will implement onshore power supply (OPS) systems to reduce emissions from moored containerships, aligning with upcoming EU regulations which require ships
Antwerp Euroterminal has reported the installation of the first shore power link for seagoing vessels in Belgium. The connection will deliver electricity to docked vessels at the port in a quiet and
This comprehensive solution not only overcomes power capacity expansion constraints but also generates economic benefits from the price differential between peak and valley electricity
Shore power allows moored ships to connect to the local electricity grid via a ''socket'' on the quay. It reduces emissions of CO2, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and particulate matter and
Two fixed shore power connections are being installed at the Antwerp Euroterminal (AET) for car carriers and combination container and roll-on/roll-off (ConRo) ships. AET is the largest
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
