Energy Generation at Shoreham Port
energyTEAM hold a number of free energy forums that focus on energy and water related business topics. The video below provides an insight into one of the guest presentations at the 2013 energyTEAM Energy Forums.
Peter Davies is the Development Director at Shoreham Port. His background is in planning, development and urban regeneration, having worked at a senior management level for several local authorities both in the Midlands and more recently in the South of England.
Peter’s role on the senior management team at Shoreham Port includes managing the extensive property portfolio, developing the Port’s environmental credentials, leading on major development schemes identified in the Port Masterplan and working with partners in the regeneration of the wider harbour area.
Shoreham Port has grown about 25% in the last 4 years and as a result are investing heavily in new equipment and buildings to try to attract more customers to the port. Shoreham Port have been investigating renewable energy generation for a number of years and are committed to expanding the use of embedded renewable energy projects where it can be demonstrated they can play a vital part in the sustainability of the port, including the possibility of biomass and further Solar PV and Wind Turbine installations.
Biofuel
The latest development proposal was to build a renewable combined heat and power generating facility. This biofuel facility is expected to generate approximately 32 megawatts of renewable energy, which is enough to power 18,000 homes. The facility will be based on waste oils from manufacturing and cooking and would be processed in Belgium and brought into Shoreham Port by ship. Importantly, local residents and firms would be able to benefit from the heat produced by this facility.
Wind Turbines
Shoreham Port has a brilliant location on the south coast and therefore have nothing that prevents wind or sun from reaching the site. There is approximately 50,000m2 area of roof space at the port which is equivalent to 3-4 megawatts of power.
Being on the coastline, the wind speeds are quite attractive to developers and Shoreham Port were looking for a third party to fund the development of the renewable technology – in this case wind turbines.
energyTEAM were brought on to provide Renewable Energy support services to Shoreham Port such as ensuring that they were sourcing the right turbines and putting them in the right location to maximise benefits for the port. These benefits include the maximising use of the turbines, powering the facilities and marketing the port as an environmentally aware organisation.

Future Energy Forums
In June 2014, energyTEAM will be hosting two energy forums at the William Conference Centre in Oxford and the Old Trafford Football Stadium in Manchester. energyTEAM’s Energy Forums are specifically designed for Facilities, Energy and Procurement Managers from public and private sector organisations throughout the UK.
These forums will address important and topical business issues including Water Management, Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Renewable Technologies. The presentations promise inspirational ideas from both a client’s perspective and up-to-date knowledge from a number of energy and water specialists.
