Sustainability

The Port Authority has launched a tender for two projects related to energy efficiency and remote monitoring. Both projects are funded by the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility – Next Generation EU – established by Council Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 of 14 December 2020. The larger project, valued at €1,043,000, has an eight-month execution period. It will involve improving the energy efficiency of the port's lighting network by replacing existing high-pressure sodium vapor (HPS) lamps with more energy-efficient LED lighting. The project includes the renovation of lighting towers, the installation of support arms on building facades to hold new light fixtures, the construction of underground conduit and lines, and the demolition and removal of paving and subsequent replacement. Furthermore, with a budget of €118,000, remote metering equipment will be installed to remotely read energy consumption, as the Port Authority provides energy supply services to the various consumption points within the port. The work will consist of implementing a remote metering system to make the APMYRP's electrical networks "smart," using a platform that will manage the consumption recorded by the meters (both its own and those of its customers) to generate the corresponding associated documents. This will require the implementation of an architecture of interconnected devices and the replacement of most of the port's electricity meters, as well as the installation of protective cabinets to house the new equipment. This investment is included in the 2023-2027 Investment Plan of the 2024 Business Plan of this Port Authority.
