The solar plant will occupy a surface area of 6,420 square metres, with an installed power of 1,461.6 KWp, and a base budget of € 3,018,594.19 (Euros), including maintenance for four years.
Companies can submit their bids until 5 September, 2022 at 13.00 hours. This is the first of the solar plants to be installed at the Port of Valencia, in Spain. The second will be in the automobile silo area of Terminal Valencia Europa and will involve an investment of 16 million Euros.
Tender for photovoltaic (PV) installation
Valenciaport has put out to tender for the construction and maintenance of a photovoltaic energy plant
In addition, the Port Authority of Valencia has already put out a tender for the photovoltaic installation for the Port of Gandia, in Spain. This project is financed by the Next Generation funds of the European Union (EU) and the Spanish Government’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
Valenciaport has put out to tender for the construction and maintenance of a photovoltaic energy plant for self-consumption to be located on the Príncipe Felipe dock, with a base tender budget of 3,018,594.19 Euros, including maintenance for four years. The solar energy panels will occupy a surface area of 6,420 square metres and will have a 30% slope for optimum use, and an installed power of 1,461.6 kWp.
Project financed by EU’s Next Generation funds
This project is financed by the European Union’s (EU) Next Generation funds and the Spanish Government’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. Companies can submit their bids until 4 September at 13:00. Once awarded, the construction period for the solar plant will be 10 months and the maintenance period will be 50 months.
This installation, which will produce approximately 2,353.00 MWh/year of totally renewable electrical energy, will contribute to the strategic objective designed by the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) to be an emission neutral port by 2030, twenty years ahead of the objectives set by the European Green Pact.
Solar power plants installation
In fact, this will be the first of the solar plants, which the Port of Valencia will have, to which will be added the photovoltaic installation project, which will be located on the roof of the Valencia Terminal Europa vehicle warehouse and which will involve an investment of 16 million Euros.
In addition, Valenciaport has also put out to tender the solar plant for the Port of Gandia
In addition, Valenciaport has also put out to tender the solar plant for the Port of Gandia, which will be in shed 4 on a surface area of 4,500 square metres, with a power of 705 Kwp, a base budget of 1,558,001.2 euros and which will make the Gandia site the first European port to be energy self-sufficient.
Decarbonisation and fight against climate change
Aurelio Martínez, the President of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), said “We want to make the Port of Valencia a benchmark in the fight against climate change and decarbonisation with real projects already underway, such as these solar installations, the use of hydrogen in the port area, the electrical substations that will allow the electrical connection of ships while they are docked, the use of alternative fuels, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or the project to develop wind energy.”
To these actions, we must add the commitment to intermodality, the digitalisation of equipment and operations or the design of buildings with energy efficiency criteria that the Port Authority of Valencia has been implementing in recent years, in order to transform the Valencian port facilities into an example in the fight against climate change. In this sense, Valenciaport has budgeted 130 million Euros to invest in sustainability actions in the coming years.
