The Electric Seaway: Providing a charging infrastructure network for the UK's south coast

The south coast of the UK has responded to the shift in maritime expectations over the past few years, with many new businesses and technology developments for clean and green vessels.
The Electric Seaway (TES) project, with its potential to serve as a model for future networks, aims to establish a network of charging infrastructure along the south coast. This unique network will feature ten locations equipped with charging installations, including two sites with integrated battery energy storage solutions to address grid capacity challenges. Introducing a standardised approach to e-charging using current and planned fully marinised charging technology will overcome the significant barrier of limited grid capacity and advanced infrastructure provision.
