ERE-E for terminals and mobile machinery

Mobile machinery can qualify

The NEa defines mobile machinery as machines with their own drive that can move themselves. Electricity supplied to this equipment can generate LRE-E. A registration plate or use on public roads is not required.

Examples include forklifts, terminal tractors, reach stackers and mobile cranes. A machine's name is not sufficient evidence: its design and use must meet the conditions. Electricity for stationary machinery is excluded.

For RTG cranes and AGVs, record how the equipment moves and charges. For RMG and STS cranes, the classification of their rail-mounted design also needs attention. The NEa excludes electricity supplied to rail vehicles. Have any uncertain case assessed before registering the electricity.

Separate land transport and shipping

A terminal can supply electricity to several sectors:

• Trucks and mobile machinery fall within land transport: LRE-E.
• Shore power for inland vessels falls within inland shipping: BRE-E.
• Shore power for seagoing vessels falls within maritime shipping: ZRE-E.
• Electric floating equipment, such as dredgers, can generate BRE-E.

Under the current rules, shore power can be registered through 2029. Record the vessel and its sector for each delivery.

Meter each use

A main meter for the whole terminal is insufficient if it also records reefers, buildings, lighting and fixed installations. Exclude that consumption from registration.

Link the meters to the machinery or vessel delivery. Record the connection, its registered connected party and who manages the data. For swappable batteries, their use must also be traceable. See the battery rules.

Grid electricity has a renewable share of 50.5% for registration in 2026. Solar panels at the terminal can support a higher share if the conditions for on-site generation are met.

Start with an inventory of machines, vessels, meters and other consumption. PYK Power can use it to assess which deliveries you can substantiate and where metering data is missing.
