PSA Mumbai becomes India’s first 100% renewable energy powered container terminal on commissioning off 7.8 MW solar farm with O2 power

PSA Mumbai has achieved a major milestone in its emissions reduction journey by
becoming India’s first 100% renewable powered container terminal on the commissioning
of its 7.8MW solar farm with O2 Power. The solar farm, which will be expanded to 10MW
by June 2024, will provide over 75% of PSA Mumbai’s electricity requirements1 with the
remaining renewable power sourced from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution
Company Limited (MSEDCL) and other providers. The terminal’s CO2 equivalent
emissions will be reduced by a projected 16,000 tonnes annually and more than 350,000
tonnes over its life.
O2 Power, a renewable energy platform in India owned by EQT Infrastructure and
Temasek, has developed and will manage the solar farm in Beed, Maharashtra with an
expansion facility in Motala, Maharashtra. The plants are connected to PSA Mumbai via
existing MSEDCL infrastructure.
PSA Mumbai is targeting a 50% reduction in its carbon emissions by 2030 . Other major
initiatives underway to achieve this target include the large-scale electrification of its
equipment fleet, including the deployment of an all-electric Rubber-tyred Gantry Crane
(RTGC) fleet for its Phase 2 development. Electrification of all existing RTGCs in Phase
1 is underway and is expected to be completed by 2027.
The upcoming launch by PSA BDP of e-trucks in early 2024 will create a zero-emission
green transport corridor in Nhava Sheva linking terminals, CFS and customer facilities.
Combining renewable power from PSA Mumbai with CFS and trucking expertise from
PSA Ameya and PSA BDP India is a unique marketplace solution and underscores PSA’s
commitment to green transportation initiatives.
PSA Mumbai CEO- Mr Andy Lane commented on the milestone “We are delighted to
commission our solar farm and with the switch to 100% renewable power, achieve a
significant reduction in our emissions. Supply chain users want greener and more
sustainable transportation solutions to achieve emissions reduction targets: the
successful completion of this initiative and projects such as the soon-to-be-delivered e-
trucks underscores our commitment to meeting those requirements. We are very grateful
for Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority’s (JNPA) support during this process and are pleased
to play our part towards JNPA’s target of 60% usage of renewable power under Maritime
India Vision 2030. With the solar farm’s expansion, we are also pleased to be growing
our partnership with O2 Power.”
“Our interaction with the PSA Mumbai team over the last few months has been so
mesmerising and feels like our own extended family of O2 Power by complimenting each
other with various endeavors. We are proud to be partnering with the PSA group and look
forward to continued collaboration with PSA Mumbai for their overall sustainability
initiatives,” said Mr Kiran Kumar- Head of Open Access O2 Power.
