Parkwind - JERA Nex takes a sustainable leap forward as it achieves world-first offshore green energy charging with MJR Power & Automation’s pioneering system at Nobelwind wind farm
Parkwind has installed a pioneering boat charging station system at sea, designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from maintenance vessels and promote sustainable operations. Powered by local, renewable energy sources, this innovative infrastructure investment is a crucial step towards enabling low-carbon water transport. By utilizing locally-sourced renewable electricity, we are further supporting our mission to generate clean energy while diligently minimizing our environmental footprint. This ground breaking initiative not only enhances sustainable maritime practices but also reinforces Parkwind's commitment to leading the transition to a greener future.
This innovative system, operational for the first time at the Nobelwind wind farm, enables vessels to use green, locally generated energy directly. The technology, developed by UK-based partner MJR, and integrated and deployed in collaboration with Parkwind, allows ships to connect to the charging cable and thus stay in place while charging, despite sea currents.
The automatic coupling and uncoupling process and charge management have been extensively tested and found to be successful. With this progressive concept, Parkwind aims to strengthen its position as a pioneer in the offshore wind sector and strive for fully sustainable operations.
