The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) has awarded Naturgy the contract for the electricity supply to all its facilities, for an amount of 2,033,812.25 euros annually excluding VAT. The agreement, which includes the possibility of a one-year extension, has an estimated total value of 4,474,386.95 euros.
Naturgy will take over from Endesa Energía, the current provider of the service under a contract that ends on March 31, 2026. From that date, the new supplier will assume the electricity supply of the 29 consumption points that the APBA maintains distributed among the Port Bay of Algeciras, the Campamento Port Area, the Port of La Línea, the Port of Tarifa, and a network of lighthouses and beacons that includes Carboneras, Punta Carnero, Tarifa, Camarinal, and the Punta Paloma beacon.
The estimated total consumption for each year of the contract is set at 11,666 MWh. The bulk of the demand is concentrated in the Port Bay of Algeciras, where the Maritime Station alone represents more than 41% of the electricity consumption at medium voltage. This is followed by the Isla Verde facilities, the fishing and Galera docks, and the different areas of the Port of Tarifa. The 13 high voltage supplies, corresponding to large port facilities, account for 95% of total consumption, while the 16 low voltage points — lighthouses, accesses, public lighting, and small dependencies — complete the remaining 5%.
One of the most relevant aspects of the tender is the environmental requirement: 100% of the supplied energy must come from renewable sources or high-efficiency cogeneration. Naturgy will have to certify this commitment annually by redeeming renewable origin guarantees for each of the supply points, a verifiable certificate through the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC).
