Solar energy for self-consumption at Cooperative Cercimarco.
Description
Thia campaign's goal is to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at the cooperative CERCIMARCO.
The installation and operation of the solar panels will be done by Solgas, an energy services company (ESE) that is also the project promoter and will be the owner of the panels.
CERCIMARCO is an IPSS (cooperative of social solidarity) and is on a mission to develop responses adjusted to the needs of people with disabilities or with socio-professional integration issues. The cooperative promotes quality of life, social integration, and autonomy for vulnerable individuals, in partnership with the local community in order to make it a progressively more inclusive and integrative community.
The project included the installation of photovoltaic panels with a total power of 26.68 kWp.
The Impact
Direct
- Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of over 38 MWh, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of 5.20 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to planting 236 trees.
- Cost reduction for social solidarity cooperative: the decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the consumption site, helps to avoid distribution costs, making this a more competitive option than reverting to the national grid. Furthermore, the decreased dependency of the association on the national grid, makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.
Indirect
- Further investment in support services for adults and children with disabilities: the reduction in electricity costs will allow the cooperative to invest the savings in its care services.
