WT Terminal, a key player in the Port of Riga, has taken a significant step towards sustainability by launching a solar panel park to partially power its operations with renewable energy. The solar park, situated on the roof of the Latvian terminal's warehouse, comprises 480 panels with a total capacity of 220.8 kW. This initiative, launched in 2023 with support from ALTUM and financing from Citadele Bank, is designed to lower energy expenses and buffer against fluctuating market electricity prices. Given WT Terminal's energy-intensive activities, particularly in timber processing, the transition to self-generated power underscores its commitment to both cost-effectiveness and environmental responsibility. Furthering its green development strategy, WT Terminal intends to introduce an electric-powered hydraulic crane next year. This new crane, supported by a recently installed transformer substation and berth power supplies, is expected to enhance operational efficiency and decrease emissions, signifying a crucial advancement in the company's environmental objectives. Across the Port of Riga, sustainable practices are increasingly becoming a competitive advantage, with green energy production a growing priority. Companies such as Kronospan Riga and Baltic Container Terminal are already utilizing solar power, while Rīgas Universālais Termināls and TFS Trans logistics are actively investing in new solar and geothermal energy projects. WT Terminal, recognized as one of the port's leading cargo handlers and the second largest for timber, has experienced steady growth in recent years, achieving a record 0.76 million tonnes of freight in 2023.
