Self-consumption solar energy for a local supermarket

Description

This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at the Fernandes & Batista supermarket in Guimarães.

The photovoltaic plant will have 41 solar panels installed with a total power of 24,81 kWp and will have a battery with a capacity of 15 kWh, which will enable it to produce 38 MWh of clean energy per year.

The system will also include an inverter, a support structure, a monitoring system and cables.

The equipment will be installed and maintained by Inoener, a company specialising in energy services.

The Impact

Direct 

  • Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 38 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of more than 3 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 152 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 Supermercado Fernando & Batista 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.
