Solutions

Practical solutions for port decarbonisation

DW Energy brings renewable energy design, commercial electrical works and operational site coordination together, helping maritime sites make practical upgrades that suit real working conditions.

e-HGV charging for port and haulage fleets

  • Overnight depot charging and high power commercial chargers.
  • Battery backed charging where site capacity is constrained.
  • Integration with existing solar PV where available.
  • Civil works, trenching, cabling, plinths and line marking.
  • Designed around live port operations and vehicle movements.

Commercial solar PV and battery storage

  • Reduce imported grid electricity and make better use of suitable roof space.
  • Store surplus generation for later use where the commercial case supports it.
  • Support charging demand and wider site electrical loads.
  • Improve long term energy resilience.
  • Clear advice on when battery storage does or does not make sense.

Coastal electrical works and maintenance

  • Commercial electrical design, installation, testing and maintenance.
  • Shore power and berth electrical infrastructure.
  • Corrosion resistant, marine grade equipment where required.
  • Protected cable routes and durable containment.
  • Works planned around operational sites to minimise disruption.

How we support Shoreham Port

Electric HGV chargingSolar and battery integration

Shoreham Port establishes electric HGV charging

Shoreham Port needed reliable overnight charging for its first two electric HGVs, but the system had to work within the limits of the existing electrical supply. DW Energy designed and delivered two 80 kW EV chargers with a 200 kWh battery storage system, using the port’s existing 90 kWp solar PV array to help support charging demand with more renewable energy generated on site.

Berth ZeroShore power

Shoreham Port strengthens sustainable shore power at Berth Zero

DW Energy designed and installed a new shore power network at Berth Zero, supporting ten fishing vessels across five berths. The system reduces reliance on onboard diesel generators while vessels are berthed and provides reliable power for refrigeration, unloading and auxiliary supplies, using robust infrastructure suited to an exposed coastal environment.

Client testimonial

“The project had a very tight deadline but DW Energy’s teams of highly skilled electrical engineers and civil engineering subcontractors completed the project on time and within budget. There are challenges working in an operational port, but DW Energy’s team worked with us to make the project run smoothly to minimise any disruption.

From the initial contact through to commissioning, DW Energy were professional and accommodating. We are pleased with the final project and would highly recommend DW Energy!”

Funding and grant support

Funding support for port decarbonisation and commercial energy upgrades

Ports and commercial fleet operators may be able to access support for clean maritime infrastructure, shore power, vessel charging, depot charging, workplace EV charging and onsite renewable energy systems. Funding windows are limited and eligibility varies, so speak to DW Energy to understand what may be relevant to your site.

  • Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition funding can support feasibility studies, pre-deployment trials and deployment trials for clean maritime technology and infrastructure.
  • Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure funding can support battery electric vessels, vessel charging, shore power and related port energy infrastructure.
  • Depot and workplace charging schemes may support eligible organisations installing EV charging for HGVs, vans, coaches, staff vehicles or operational fleets.
  • Business rates support may apply to eligible onsite renewable generation and storage, including solar PV, battery storage and storage used with EV charging infrastructure.

Not sure whether your site or project could qualify? Speak to DW Energy. Our team can help you review your intended project, understand the infrastructure likely to be required, and identify which funding or support routes may be worth exploring.

Ask DW Energy about grant support

Funding availability, eligibility and criteria can change. DW Energy does not guarantee funding approval.
