E-Harbours

the objectives of e-harbours the challenge is to create a more sustainable energy model in harbour regions on the basis of innovative intelligent energy networks (smart grids). e-harbours focuses on 3 objectives: increase the production and use of renewable energy in harbour cities. harbour cities have extensive industrial areas with a great potential for development of sustainable energies; from wind, solar pv, tide, waves and the reuse of industrial waste, heat or cooling available; increase the use of energy smart grids. attuning demand and supply of energy by flexible demand management, instantaneous load shedding (both directions), energy labelling, intelligent storage; increase the use of electric transport, a perfect partner to connect to large scale renewable energies ánd leading the a more healthy environment in the harbour regions. the project is financed by european union, interreg ivb north sea region programme. investing in the future by working together for a sustainable
