Sustainable energy

SDG 12. Responsible Consumption and Production

SDG 7. Affordable and Clean Energy

SDG 9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Solar energy for self consumption in a paints and varnishes factory.
Impact
This project will have the following positive impact:
-
Reduced dependence on carbon-based fuels, avoiding the emission of 24,6 tons of CO2 a year: with an estimated production of 91,7 MWh, the photovoltaic system will avoid the emission of 24,6 tons of CO2, the equivalent to planting 1.118 trees.
-
Cost-reduction for the end-client: this decentralized electric energy production, located near the consumption site, reduces the distribution costs, making the renewable energy option more attractive and cost-competitive than the national grid. In addition to this, the lower dependence on the national grid reduces the company’s exposure to price fluctuations.
Moreover, for each developed project, the promoter will run one of the two following initiatives, in line with its environmental policy:
-
Donate 10€ for each kW of 100% green energy installed to a non-profit organization.
-
Plant a tree for each kW of 100% green energy installed.
Project Information
Tintas Lacca, SA is a company based in Northern Portugal, dedicated to the production of paints and varnishes for the furniture, construction, and metalworking industries.
The company’s environmental policy is focused on reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds, which are released during the paint’s application and drying processes. In order to increase ita sustainability and self-sufficiency, the company will install a solar photovoltaic plant for self-consumption with a total power of 50,0 kWp in its facilities. The plant will generate 91,7 MWh of energy per year. The panels will be installed by Luz Verde (an energy services provider).
During the first 5 years, the power plant will be rented to Tintas Lacca, a period after which it will be acquired by the latter. The solar power plant will allow for significant energy savings in comparison with the current consumption, as well as a reduction in its electricity bill.
Viabilidade Financeira
During the first 60 months, LuzVerde is renting the photovoltaic power plant for a variable rent indexed to the production of the central. At the end of the 60 months, Tintas Lacca can acquire the central for € 1 596,48. Due to the cost reduction on the electricity bill, the end client will save € 465,60 a month during the rental period (after paying the PV rental costs), which makes the project financially viable since the first month. After acquiring the central, it will save € 1 263,74 a month. The expected lifetime of the power plant is up to 30 years.

About Frontrow Lda
LuzVerde (Frontrow Lda) is part of a group with over ten years of experience providing energy services. Based in Northern Portugal, its main activity is to develop solar energy solutions for self-consumption for household, industry, and commerce. The company provides the following services:
-
Technical evaluations to measure the estimated energy consumption of the contractor and to evaluate the characteristics of the location where the plants will be installed.
-
Installation of the photovoltaic panels.
-
Help with the licensing and certification processes.
-
Monitoring, maintenance, and operation after the installation in order to guarantee that the panels are kept at the highest production capacity possible.
-
Support the project financing.
The Business Model
The promoter’s main activity is to develop solar energy projects. It usually operates following an ESCO (Energy Service Company) model
The finance model of these contracts is based on an initial investment made by the energy service company (ESC) – in this case, Luz Verde. The remuneration consists of the positive difference between the estimated energy savings and the effective energy savings. Therefore, in this model, the contracting entity is reassured that its energy costs will be lower than what would happen in normal circumstances. This means that the impact on its budget is always positive, once the ESE assumes the risk for the payment of any costs that exceed what was initially contracted.
Track Record
With over 10 years of experience, the project promoter currently has ten employees.
With projects throughout the whole Portuguese territory, its clients are mostly companies. Overall, they have developed projects with a total capacity of 1380 kW.
Promoter Rating: B-
Guarantees
This project is guaranteed with the pledge of the equipment installed. The loan is provided to LuzVerde, who acts as an ESCO, and assumes the risk of the project.
