The aim of this campaign is to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at Distriminde - Supermercados, Lda, an Intermarché supermarket in Minde, Alcanena, Portugal.

The photovoltaic plant will have 322 panels installed with a total power of 180,32 kWp, which will enable it to produce 286081.50 kWh of clean energy per year.

The solar panels will be installed and maintained by Luz Verde, a company specialising in solar photovoltaic installations.

What is the impact?

Direct

Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 286 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 24,6 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of almost 1120 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 Distriminde 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.
