ERE-E by application
ERE-E for shore power in inland and maritime shipping
Shore power can generate ERE-E through 2029. Inland vessels generate BRE-E and seagoing vessels generate ZRE-E. Keep these deliveries separate in your records.

Record the vessel you supply
The shipping sector determines the type of ERE-E. A quay serving both inland and seagoing vessels can therefore generate two types of units.
Link each delivery to a vessel, a period and the measured kWh. Vessel names and ENI or IMO numbers help establish the sector and recipient. The location of the quay does not turn a delivery to a seagoing vessel into land transport.
Measure the supply to the vessel
The metering must show how much electricity was supplied to the vessel. A general site meter is insufficient if it also records buildings, chargers or separate reefer connections.
Keep the link between the main connection, meter, shore power point and vessel. Also record the registered connected party and who may register deliveries. Owning the shore power equipment does not automatically grant that right.
For grid electricity, the REV uses a renewable share of 50.5% in 2026. Claiming on-site generation as 100% renewable requires additional metering and evidence of origin. See 100% renewable electricity.
Account for the end date
The current NEa rules allow shore power registration through 2029. Do not include ERE income from shore power as a fixed revenue source from 2030 onwards.
This end date concerns shore power. Electricity supplied through vessel battery packs or electrolyte has a separate route.
PYK Power checks the sector classification, metering data and contracts. An export of your shore power deliveries and a connection diagram allow us to identify what else the evidence file needs.
