Port Electrification Australia

Taking place on 11 November 2025 in Sydney, the Port Electrification Australia conference will discuss how ports can advance electrification to meet sustainability goals, improve operational efficiency, and remain globally competitive. Bringing together port authorities, operators, regulators, technology providers, and energy stakeholders, the content agenda and discussion will centre around the importance of collaboration and stakeholder engagement.

In the session entitled “Ensuring a Resilient Energy Supply”, Jorge Martin Gistau, Director of Energy Infrastructure Transition for Ricardo, shares insight and learnings from recent projects where ports in other territories have faced similar challenges. Objectives include: 

• Managing increased electricity demand
• Collaborating with utilities and grid operators
• Onsite renewable generation: solar, wind, hydrogen
• Storage solutions and microgrids for reliability
• Upgrading electrical infrastructure
• Examples of resilient power strategies in port settings
