El 15 de septiembre de 2021 se celebró el Taller de Electrificación Marítima para Empresas de Servicios Públicos con el fin de reunir a las partes interesadas del sector marítimo y de las empresas de servicios eléctricos para debatir cómo trabajar juntos de forma más eficaz para lograr una mayor reducción de los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) a través de la electrificación de las actividades marítimas.

In the coming decades, seaports are likely to see significant increases in electrical energy demand due to three main drivers.

• electrification and hybridization of ships and cargo-handling equipment, which will require battery recharging
• vessels connecting to shore power while at the dock (referred to as cold-ironing)
• local production of alternative fuels, referred to as electrofuels, that can be produced through electrochemical conversion.

This growth in demand will require maritime and electric utilities to work together in planning for infrastructure, charging times, rate structures, and other needs. The September 15, 2021 workshop invited maritime and electric utility stakeholders to discuss the opportunities for developing stronger partnerships between electric utility and maritime stakeholders.
