Peel Ports

Powering the Port

Great Yarmouth Port is spread across a wide land footprint (In excess of 100 Acres) and has evolved over many years. During the same period Energy and Utility consumption has significantly increased, both in terms of cost and volume. The intern placement would provide the opportunity to review the utility usage and look at ways which the Port could reduce this.

We believe there could be opportunities across the entire onsite Utilities network and consumption, including the measurement and reporting, additionally we would like a review of the technology improvements which may be available to move us towards net zero.

This requirement to minimise utility usage is a key driver of our customers and ambitions to be a net zero business by 2040.
