Shoreham Port announced a new partnership with industry leader ScottishPower to explore the development of a renewable green energy production facility at Shoreham Port. This feasibility study will be conducted under a 12-month Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
As a Trust Port with a 265-year history of delivering value to the local community, we are excited about the economic and social opportunities green hydrogen development presents. Having been a certified EcoPort for a decade, these innovations have the potential to support our net-zero ambitions while making a contribution towards decarbonising Sussex and beyond.
ScottishPower and its parent company, Iberdrola, are driving the development of green hydrogen production in the UK by leveraging Iberdrola’s global experience and successful track record of delivering green hydrogen production projects in Spain and developing projects across eight countries. Two of ScottishPower’s leading projects in the UK were successful in the Government’s first Hydrogen Allocation Round, which were two of the first three projects to sign Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreements in December 2024. These two projects are the 10MW facility at Whitelee Windfarm and the 15MW facility in Cromarty in partnership with Storegga. Both projects will supply green hydrogen to whisky distilleries and their supply chain in Scotland. ScottishPower is also taking forward a feasibility study for a 100MW production plant at the Port of Felixstowe with support from the UK Government’s Net Zero Hydrogen Fund. ScottishPower is advancing key projects that align with the UK Government’s hydrogen strategy, decarbonising critical sectors through renewable energy.
