What is a solar grid connection capacity?

• Grid connection capacity = 100kVA. The figures below show the battery behaviour in summer and winter, to observe the impact of seasonal PV solar variation. Performance of a system with 120kWp of PV solar capacity in Summer, showing the small amount of grid energy needed to supplement the solar power.

Why should Africa ports embrace the energy transition?

The energy transition is a major challenge, but it also presents a number of opportunities for Africa ports. By embracing the energy transition, African ports can create jobs, reduce emissions and improve their competitiveness.

Why is the greening of Ports & Shipping important?
