Iberdrola and Marinas de España team up to connect the country's marinas to the electrical grid

Iberdrola and Marinas de España, the Spanish Federation of Associations of Marinas and Tourism Ports, have signed a collaboration agreement to implement electrification solutions to encourage the decarbonisation of the 180 marinas that are part of the associations of Andalusia, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Galicia, Murcia and Valencia, to improve their competitiveness and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. 

The first step within the partnership will be to run an industry analysis through Balantia's Net Zero Emissions Manager. The platform, recently launched as a result of Iberdrola España’s acquisition of 100% of Balantia, calculates CO2 footprint, determining the processes with the greatest impact and automatically prepares a decarbonisation plan focused on compliance with regulations and climate targets for 2030 and 2050. It also manages equipment inventory data, asset profiles and invoices.

Based on the results, an electrification plan will be studied to decarbonise and increase port competitiveness, based on electric vehicles and ships, photovoltaic self-consumption, electrification of heat, energy supply tariffs with guarantees of origin and other possible solutions that can add value. 

For those emissions that cannot be reduced, Iberdrola Group, through Carbon2Nature, provides companies with high quality carbon credits based on natural projects that absorb CO2, foster the circular economy and promote sustainable development.
