Reefers and building consumption do not count for ERE-E

A terminal can have a substantial electricity bill. For ERE-E, only the share supplied to eligible transport counts. Registering total site consumption overstates the qualifying volume.

Refrigerated containers and buildings

A reefer connection on the terminal powers a container's cooling equipment. It is not a delivery to a vehicle, mobile machine or vessel. Electricity for offices, heating and cooling systems, workshops, security and site lighting also falls outside the scheme.

Assess shore power supplied to a vessel separately. That delivery can qualify under the shore power rules. This means that eligibility is not limited to electricity used for propulsion.

Separate supplies through metering

If chargers, shore power, reefers and buildings share one connection, the metering must identify transport deliveries separately. The main meter's total is insufficient.

For charge points, a secondary allocation point used exclusively for transport or an integrated MID meter in each charger can provide the required separation. Subtracting an estimate of reefer or building consumption from the electricity bill does not replace the required metering.

Record which consumption each meter measures. Check the arrangement again after extensions or alterations. Adding a workshop supply can change the original separation.
