Pier 66 Shore Power Capacity and Connection
An early action of the Seattle Waterfront Clean Energy Strategic Plan

Seattle Waterfront Clean Energy Strategic Plan
Vision: Modernize the electricity grid to
provide clean energy for maritime industry
• Build partnerships between electric utility,
Port, industry
• Take a holistic approach to planning for an
electric future
• Co-develop resilient, reliable, clean,
affordable, maritime energy systems
• Enable and support the transition away
from fossil fuels

The Impact of Shore Power
• 93 percent of electricity in Seattle
comes from low carbon, low cost
sources, like hydroelectricity
• All ships that use Seattle's clean
electricity instead of fossil fuels at
berth reduce CO2-which causes
climate change-and harmful air
pollutants like SOx, NOx and Diesel
Particulate Matter
