with electric power
In 2026, Broward County is taking a massive step for clean air by preparing to install shore power at eight berths in Port Everglades. This means ships can turn off their engines while docked and plug straight into the local electric grid instead. Annually this move is projected to eliminate over 11,366 metric tons of carbon dioxide, cutting ship emissions at the port by nearly 25%, which is the same as taking 2,470 cars off the road every year. By offering shore power, Port Everglades is building the future of cleaner, more sustainable marine transportation, directly reducing air pollution for surrounding communities.
