PSA Mumbai Becomes India''s First 100% Renewable Energy Container
PSA Mumbai has made history by becoming India''s first 100% renewable energy container terminal. With a solar farm commissioned, it will meet over 75% of power needs and
PSA Mumbai is the most connected container terminal in India with direct access to 63 Inland Container Depots. PSA Mumbai has inaugurated a 1.3-hectare 1-megawatt (MW) solar farm featuring rooftop solar panels which is projected to generate 13% of its annual power requirements and reduce CO 2 emissions by over 1,200 tonnes per year.
emissions by over 1,200 tonnes per year. When Phase 2 is fully completed by first half of 2025, PSA Mumbai will have a berth length of 2,000 metres and a capacity of 4.8 million TEUs. It will become India's largest standalone container terminal, further enhancing its capacity and operational capabilities.
The solar farm, which will be expanded to 10MW by June 2024, will provide over 75% of PSA Mumbai's electricity requirements with the remaining renewable power sourced from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and other providers.
The estimated transit time to send a container to India can range from 20 to 54 days. The main factor determining this is the route and distance between the port of origin and the destination port. However, unexpected incidents during transit may cause delays.
