GenCatalonia Advocates for Renewable Energy in Valencia’s ports
In a significant move towards enhancing port management and integrating sustainability, the newly appointed director General of Coasts, Ports, and Airports, Marc García, visited torrevieja on February 12, 2025. His visit was marked by the establishment of the Port Forum, a strategic initiative aimed at fostering collaboration among various stakeholders involved in port management across the Comunidad Valenciana.
Establishing port Forums Across Valencia
As highlighted by García, the Generalitat manages 35 ports in the Valencia region, with nearly half under direct management. The newly proposed port forums are designed to bring together local government, port governance, and othre relevant actors to address challenges and share suggestions effectively. García emphasized the dual communication aspect of this initiative, where stakeholders will be informed about the future directions and dynamics of the port authority.

He expressed, “We want our ports to be as efficient as possible, encouraging the utilization of renewable energies.” This aligns with the broader global trend of creating sustainable infrastructure that not only serves economic purposes but also benefits the habitat.
Integrating Ports With Local Communities
The Generalitat places great importance on ensuring that port infrastructures integrate seamlessly with their surrounding urban environments. García stated, “We aim for a real connection between the port and the city, transforming it into another neighborhood that adds value rather than being a disruptive element.”
Upcoming Projects Near the Torrevieja Port
During his visit, García provided updates on several adjacent projects underway at the Torrevieja port, noting that they are in their final phases. A significant project is the renovation of the Mínguez dock, for which construction is set to commence shortly. additionally, plans related to the Eras de la Sal and a thorough reurbanization of the port front are in progress, with public facts expected to be released next month.
