Energy Gurus has teamed up with Vattenfall Network Solutions to support the UK marine & Ports sector in the transition to net zero emissions. Energy Gurus will provide end to end system solutions and technology for both green & hybrid propulsion systems,  electrification of ports and harbours and onshore charging infrastructure with customer CAPEX finance packages provided by Vattenfall Networks Solutions.

Whilst the demand is increasing for reduction in emissions and energy consumption for vessel owners/operators and port side infrastructure, access to CAPEX funding is holding back the progress and implementation of green project solutions. In a bid to fast track the uptake of these proven technologies, Energy Gurus has teamed up with Vattenfall Network Solutions to remove some of these barriers by supplying “Power-as-a-Service” for both propulsion and port infrastructure for the decarbonisation of assets and equipment.

With Energy Gurus providing turnkey solutions and after sales support for electrification and hybrid systems coupled with Vattenfall Network Solutions complete ownership package that de-risks the life cycle cost with a fixed service fee, Energy Gurus and Vattenfall can provide a true end to end turnkey system solution .
