The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras has unveiled a decarbonization plan foreseeing about €90 million of investment in shore power (OPS) and berth electrification, including major container terminals Juan Carlos I and Isla Verde Exterior. The initiative is aligned with upcoming EU funding under the Connecting Europe Facility 2028–2034 and aims to cut emissions and upgrade port infrastructure for ships on core European and Asia–Europe trade lanes.
The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras in Spain has adopted a decarbonization roadmap that allocates roughly €90 million to expand shore power systems and electrify key port terminals. The plan combines the authority’s own resources with NextGenerationEU funds, Spain’s Sustainable and Digital Transport Support Program, and expected grants under the next Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) cycle covering 2028–2034. Investments will deploy onshore power supply (OPS) and reinforce grid connections at berths serving traffic with Ceuta and Tangier, as well as at major container terminals Juan Carlos I, operated by APM Terminals Algeciras, and Isla Verde Exterior, home to TTI Algeciras.
