The Port of Valencia has put into operation its new photovoltaic solar plant , the largest in the port area. This installation, which generates 5.8 MWp of power, will occupy a crucial place in the port’s decarbonisation plan , as it is estimated that it will produce 8,380 MWh annually, which represents 15% of the energy demand of the Valencian docks.
The solar plant has been installed on the vehicle silo of the terminal at the Eastern Dock. Thanks to the collaboration between Lantania, the Tecmo Group and the European funds Next Generation EU, the Port of Valencia is taking a new step towards the energy transition, becoming an example of sustainability in the port sector.
Impact of the photovoltaic plant on the port’s energy efficiency
The photovoltaic plant, which has more than 10,000 solar modules , will contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and also strengthens the energy infrastructure of the Port of Valencia, which will allow the optimisation of the electricity supply to the port facilities and the ships operating in the area.
This initiative is part of a joint effort to meet the port’s new energy requirements, in line with sustainability goals and the use of renewable resources.

Energy future: Complementary projects
This project is not isolated. Lantania continues to advance its commitment to sustainable energy in the region, as it is already working on the construction of an electrical substation that will strengthen the energy network of the Port Authority of Valencia.
In addition, the company is carrying out various maintenance and improvement tasks on port infrastructure, including the upkeep of the railway network and water evacuation systems.
With an investment of 13.27 million euros (excluding VAT), the solar plant and complementary infrastructure are a testament to the Port of Valencia ‘s growing commitment to the environment and energy efficiency.
