Solar energy plant for self consumption at two hotels in Alentejo and Douro.
Description
The aim of this campaign is to finance two photovoltaic power plants, two sets of energy storage units and four electric car chargers in two hotels - Monte da Cabeça Gorda in Évora and Casa de São Domingos in the Douro region.
The two solar power plants will have a total installed power of 32 kWp which will produce 48.8 MWh of clean energy per year, avoiding the emission of about 9.9 tons of CO2 annually. 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, as well as the energy producer and trader.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) has been signed between the promoter and the two hotels. A PPA is a long-term agreement (in this case, 12 years) with a fixed price for the purchase and sale of clean energy established between a renewable energy producer (in this case Pleno Energia) and the entities that require electricity (in this case, the two hotels). The hotel units will therefore reduce its energy consumption from the national electricity grid and will start consuming energy from the panels to be installed.
The Impact
Reduced dependence on carbon-based fuels, avoiding the emission of CO2: with an estimated production of 48.8 MWh, the photovoltaic system will avoid the emission of 9.9 tons of CO2, the equivalent to planting 450 trees.
Promotion of electric mobility: through the installation of four chargers for electric vehicles.
Cost reduction: the decentralised production of renewable energy, close to the location where the consumption takes place, allows the client to avoid distribution costs, making it a competitive option when compared to the energy supplied by the national grid. In addition to this, the decrease in the company's dependence on the grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and tax burdens.

Financial viability
The project requires a total investment of 105.000€, of which 64.000€ will be financed through GoParity and the remainder being financed by Pleno Energia's own capital. During the first 12 years following the installation, the panels shall be owned by Pleno Energia, which will produce the energy and sell it at a discount. After this period, the power plants will be bought by the end-users, which will achieve significant energy savings in face of the current consumption and, consequently, reduce their electricity costs.
