The plug-in system for ships is aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions and improving air quality.
The shore power systems at Portsmouth International Port will allow ships to use the port's powerA system to allow docked ships to plug into the National Grid is set to go ahead after receiving council funding.
The Sea Change project, planned for Portsmouth International Port, is aimed at reducing air pollution from ships' idling engines.The port is aiming to be the first in the UK to be net carbon-neutral by 2030. The city council, which owns the port, said the shore power system could save the equivalent of 20,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year and improve air quality.The new system will also charge two hybrid/liquefied natural gas vessels, supplied by Brittany Ferries, that will use electric power to enter and leave the harbour.
Councillor Gerald Vernon-Jackson, whose cabinet role includes responsibility for the port, said: "I think this is a really good example of long-term ambition - we're going to have a project which is going to take us to having the first carbon-neutral port in the whole country.", along with £4.6m in borrowing and the £3m from council reserves.
