€525 Million for Balearic Ports: Palma, Alcúdia and the Big Question of How

Answer

Will Mallorca’s ports get more shore power connections?

Yes, shore power is one of the main environmental priorities in the plan for Balearic ports. The idea is to reduce emissions from ships by allowing them to plug into electricity while docked instead of running diesel generators. The practical challenge is deciding which berths are connected first and how the system will be maintained and priced.
