Shore Power for Sea Ships — Climate (2024-2026)
Pays Dutch legal entities up to 45% to build shore power for ships at a sea terminal.
RVO runs this fund on a first-come, first-served basis: complete applications are processed in the order they arrive, and if several complete applications land on the same day and the budget for that day would be exceeded, RVO ranks those same-day applications by lottery rather than by exact arrival time. An incomplete first submission can still be finished later, but doing so resets the applicati…
This is for Dutch-established legal entities (alone or in a consortium) planning to install shore power at a terminal in a Dutch sea port, whether the terminal has formal AFIR status, contributes to a port's AFIR obligation, or is simply aimed at cutting ship CO2 emissions. On-site renewable electricity generation, like solar or wind to power the installation, can be included in the same application.
