Falmouth, United Kingdom (Ports Europe) October 23, 2025 – Falmouth Harbour is piloting the UK Government's Port Infrastructure using Novel energy Storage (PINS) project to advance shore power and battery systems at British ports. The initiative, funded by the UK Government through the UK Shipping. . NatPower UK will build a 1GW / up to 8GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Wilton International, Redcar (Teesside) — a £1bn, fully privately funded project with no subsidies or government contracts. It is the first UK project to combine utility-scale grid storage with dedicated maritime. . The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is asking for a 40% reduction in carbon intensity of international shipping by 2030 compared with 2008 – and to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by or around 2050. The nature of port operations means they are currently quite carbon intensive. For. . ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The Port Energy Systems Optimisation. .

Solar projects in the 1–5MW range are among the most adaptable in Ireland's solar mix. This capacity band includes both large commercial rooftop systems and smaller ground-mounted solar farms — combining scale with siting flexibility and regional relevance. Scale of Solar 2025 An ever growing market ESB Networks provided data on Ireland's total operational. . Ireland's Climate Action Plan sets a clear target of generating 8GW (8,000MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity by 2030. This target is divided into two categories: 5. 5GW for utility-scale or large-scale developments covering sites of 200ac or more; and 2. 5GW for non-new wires installations. . The new “Scale of Solar 2025” report by Solar Ireland claims Irish solar has grown by almost 160% since 2023, with the country's installed PV capacity increasing by 156. The International Energy Agency projects that this momentum will continue with an average annual growth rate of 32% between 2025 and 2027, outpacing even. . As Ireland works toward reducing carbon emissions by 51% by 2030, Solar PV is playing a key role in this transition.
