Solar energy plant for self-consumption at a small clothing factory

Description

The aim of this campaign is to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at Origine Portugal, Unipessoal Ldaa small clothing factory in Matosinhos, in the north of Portugal. The photovoltaic plant will have a total of 9,00 kW of installed power, which will allow it to produce 10 MWh of clean energy per year.

Escolha Solar, a company with more than 15 years of experience in providing energy services will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the solar panels. 

The Impact

  • Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of 10 MWh, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of 1.34 tonnes of CO2 per year, the equivalent to planting 61 trees.
  • Cost reduction for the final client: 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 company on the national grid, makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.
