Ports can play a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable, low-carbon future. Electrifying core operations like shore powering, cargo handling, and drayage is essential for establishing a cost-and-energy efficient port infrastructure. The complexity of electrification requires ports to adapt and integrate innovative strategies and technologies for a successful transition to net-zero operations. Achieving this transformation relies on collaborative efforts from federal and state governments, as well as the active participation of all stakeholders.

Global Transmission Report is excited to announce the 2nd edition of its Port Electrification US conference, to be held on June 25-26, 2024 at The Westin Long Beach, California. The mission of the conference is to highlight opportunities and explore solutions for electrifying operations and infrastructure at ports.

The conference will explore the critical role of electrifying port operations in meeting net-zero, sustainability, and resiliency goals at the federal, state, and local levels. It will highlight the initiatives that ports are taking to address the electrification challenge, emphasizing the significance of a forward-thinking approach to meet future requirements in this transformative journey.

The event will bring together policymakers, port authorities, terminal operators, federal and state agencies, technology providers, electric power utilities, charging solution providers, and industry experts to present their perspectives, share the lessons learned, and discuss solutions and best practices for accelerating electrification at ports.
