Baltic Container Terminal, the terminal of International Container Terminal Services Inc. in Port of Gdynia, Poland, has successfully modernized its lighting systems, and as a result received the prestigious White Certificates that may be traded on Poland’s Energy Exchange, delivering what amounts to a financial bonus.
White Certificates are basically granted property rights and are awarded by the president of Poland’s Energy Regulatory Office for Energy Efficiency Improvement.
The modernization of the lighting systems at BCT was completed in late 2016 at a total cost of PLN 420,000 ($115,000) and consisted of replacing 396 luminaries for 132 energy-saving LED systems, resulting in significant energy savings.
The level of energy saving achieved is reflected in the value of the White Certificates awarded with these able to be traded (sold) up until 2020.
BCT estimates that the use of the White Certificates will result in a total financial bonus of up to $75,000.
