Portsmouth City Council, GB turns port into zero-emissions powerhouse with new solar installation

Portsmouth City Council, GB Port Solar Installation

In Progress

The Port Energy Systems Optimisation (PESO) project will add 1,670 solar panels at the Portsmouth International Port. A combination of rooftop and solar canopy panels will generate 750 kilowatts to power up to 30% of the port's operations. A 1 megawatt-hour on-site battery maintains port operations in case of external power outages. PESO fits into Portsmouth's vision of net-zero council operations by 2030 and a carbon-free port in the long term.
