Battery solutions in ports are no longer just about storage

The energy system around us is changing rapidly – and ports find themselves at the intersection of electrification, flexibility and new market opportunities.

Battery solutions in ports are no longer just about storage. They are about conversion – of operations, of reveneue models, and of how we utilize the infrastructure we alread have.

A strategically placed battery can:

Optimize the operation of existing shore power facilities

Reduce inrush currents, stabilize delivery, and ensure predictability – even when multiple vessels connect simultaneously.

Create new revenue streams

By participating in Statnett’s balancing markets, the port can shift from being purely an energy consumer to becoming an active flexibility provider.

Reduce peak demand costs and increase utilization of existing infrastructure

The battery acts as a buffer that cuts peaks and enables greater capacity – without the need for major grid expansion.

Increase flexibility and open the doors to future services

Peak shaving, black start capacility. A more robust energy supply make the port better equipped for future demands.
