A total of 11 wind turbines will be used in Belgian Port to charge more than 20,000 electric vehicles (EVs) every week.
The wind turbines are forecast to provide a total of 110GWh of renewable energy a year, equivalent to the consumption of about 30,000 families.
The project is also estimated to eliminate 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
The ‘green terminal’, which consists of 308 charging points, could potentially power moored ships as well in the future.
