Carnival installing solar power at two Barcelona cruise terminals

Carnival and Port of Barcelona teamed up with a Catalonia solar provider to install 1,350 panels at Palacruceros & Helix Cruise Center.

The roof-mounted solar panels, a first for the port, are capable of supplying more than 100% of the energy needed to power daily operations and will reduce overall electricity consumption.

Palacruceros and Helix Cruise Center

Carnival and the Port of Barcelona teamed up with a Catalonia-based solar provider to install the 1,350 panels at Palacruceros (Terminal D) and Helix Cruise Center (Terminal E), which will collectively produce 866,000-plus kilowatt-hours per year.

Installation work began in July at Palacruceros and the full project across both terminals is set for completion by the end of 2024.
