Solar cell systems
To increase the use of renewable energy Ports of Stockholm has chosen to commit to solar cell systems. The company currently has five facilities and the ambition is to increase the production of solar power by 50 percent by 2026.
Ports of Stockholm's solar cell systems can produce electricity at a cost that is comparable to the purchase price of the electricity market. The facilities have a guaranteed effect of at least 25 years.
Expansion of solar cell facilities is planned in the next few years at Ports of Stockholm's headquarters in Frihamnen Port, at the terminal building in Port of Kapellskär and on various surfaces in Värtahamnen Port.
