Solar energy for self-consumption for homes and small businesses.
Description
The aim of this campaign is to finance four photovoltaic plants for self-consumption: two rural accommodations – Herdade da Tarouca in Crato, district of Portalegre and Alojamento do Landal, the center of Portugal -, in a private home in Caldas da Rainha, and in a construction company in Cascais (Engeasa).
The power plants will have a total power of 12kWp installed which will produce over 17MWh of clean energy per year.
The installation and operation of the solar panels will be carried out by Pleno Energia, a Portuguese energy commercialization and energy services company which will also be the project’s promoter and owner of the solar panels during the first few years.
Currently, Pleno Energia’s customers are mostly companies. The promoter intends to contribute to the decentralization of energy, by installing a solar plant in each home. To respond to the initial investment difficulties of private clients, the company will partner with Goparity who will act as a funding provider. This will be the first of several campaigns with the same objective.
The Impact
Direct:
- Reduced dependence on carbon-based fuels, avoiding the emission of CO2: with an estimated annual production of over 17 MWh, the photovoltaic systems will avoid the emission of 3,45 tons of CO2, the equivalent to planting 157 trees.
- Cost reduction for the end client: decentralized electricity production, near the consumption location, reduces the distribution costs making the option for renewable energy more cost-competitive than the national grid. Also, the decreased dependence on the national grid, makes the company less vulnerable to price fluctuations.

Financial viability
During the first years following the installation, the panels shall be owned by Pleno Energia, which shall receive a rent indexed to the energy production of each plant, paid by the homeowners, small businesses (mostly rural accommodation), or non-profit organizations, where the panels will be installed. After this period, the plants will be bought by the end-user, who will achieve significant energy savings in face of the current consumption and, consequently, reduce their electricity costs.
