ERE-E for shore power in inland and maritime shipping

Shore power for inland and maritime shipping can generate BRE-E or ZRE-E through 2029. Recreational craft fall under the land sector and are assessed separately. Keep deliveries separated by sector.

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. Under this scheme, recreational craft fall within the land sector. Assess those supplies separately; sailing on inland waters or at sea does not determine the ERE sector.

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 for inland and maritime shipping through 2029. Do not include ERE income from these supplies as a fixed revenue source from 2030 onwards.

This end date concerns shore power for inland and maritime shipping. 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.
