Self-consumption solar energy plant for an agricultural company.
Description
Solcor Portugal is a company that specialises in the development of solar installations.
This is the second campaign by the promoter Solcor Portugal to finance the energy transition of the agricultural company António Evaristo Gonçalves. In the first campaign (Solar Evaristo Gonçalves), they raised €160.000 to finance two photovoltaic plants for self-consumption.
Located in the Lezíria region of Ribatejo (Portugal), the agricultural company António Evaristo Gonçalves focuses on vegetable production. With more than 16 years of activity, the company's land is home to vineyards that contribute to the region's wines and tomato plantations for processing into pulp.
The funds from this campaign will enable the installation of a third solar plant with 55.20 kWp, expected to produce 93.66 MWh annually, reducing energy costs and enhancing self-sufficiency.
António Evaristo Gonçalves focuses on product quality and efficient production and is committed to energy transitions and decarbonizing their activity by using solar energy.
This is Solcor's nineteenth campaign. 13 of the 18 previous campaigns financed solar energy for social organizations: Social Solar Solcor, Social Solar Solcor II, Social Solar Solcor III, Social Solar Solcor IV, Social Solar Solcor V, Social Solar Solcor VI, Solar Casarão, Social Solar Solcor VII, Social Solar Solcor VIII, Social Solar Solcor IX, Social Solar Solcor X, Social Solar Solcor XI, Social Solar Solcor XII, Solar Neutripuro, and Social Solar Solcor XIII.
The Impact
Direct
- Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 93 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 8 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 366 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 António Evaristo Gonçalves 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.
