Ports in Galicia, Spain, are launching a major programme to install onshore power supply systems for ships, aiming to meet EU requirements by the end of 2029 and modernise port infrastructure within the Trans‑European Transport Network.
Seaports in Galicia, on Spain’s northwest Atlantic coast, are moving ahead with a significant upgrade of port infrastructure as part of the EU’s decarbonisation strategy: by December 31, 2029 they must be able to supply shore‑side electricity to most large container and passenger vessels within the core and comprehensive TEN‑T network. The plan envisages the construction of around 150 onshore power supply (OPS) installations across 26 affected ports, with 11 of these facilities located in Galician ports. The projects amount to a combined capacity of about 919 MW, targeting roughly 1 100 MW of operational capacity to meet the needs of existing traffic and new port activities.
