¿Cuál es el impacto?

Direct

Contribution to the decarbonization of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 222 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of 30.4 tons of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of over 1380 trees.
Cost reduction for the end customer: decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the place of consumption, helps to avoid distribution costs, this being the most competitive option. In addition, the company's lower dependence on the national grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and tax charges.

Indirect

Promoting sustainable business: the project developed for Lactoceleiro is an example of the applicability of solar power for any business, and in this case serves as a benchmark to similar industries, an important step towards sustainability for businesses in Portugal. The funding indirectly supports the artisan production of cheese from the Serra da Estrela region by Lactoceleiro.
