The Port of Bilbao, Spain, has been granted permission to build a photovoltaic solar plant to supply renewable energy to vessels at two of its cruise docks, Getxo 2 and Getxo 3.
[pdf] A typical BESS container system for ports costs €2.0 million per 10 MWh (including installation), encompassing expenses related to battery modules, power conversion systems, cooling infrastructure, and integration.
[pdf] The container is equipped with foldable high-efficiency solar panels, holding 168–336 panels that deliver 50–168 kWp of power. It is the perfect alternative to unstable grid power and diesel generators, keeping operations running even in remote areas or where infrastructure is weak.
[pdf] Scheduled to open in 2025, the Italvolt site will cover more than 300,000 m 2, is expected to employ around 3,000 people and have a production capacity of up to 45 GWh per year, making it one of the largest factories of its kind in the world. It will also be one of the most advanced.
[pdf] The two companies announced on 4 November that their jointly operated business is constructing a 30MW/125MWh BESS at the Sonnedix solar PV plant in Kyushu, southern Japan. Construction began in October 2024, and the partners are scheduled to bring it into commercial operation in November 2026.
