This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for the Humanitarian Association of Firefighters of Sintra, a nonprofit fire and emergency services organization with more than 136 years of service to the community.
The Humanitarian Association of Firefighters of Sintra was founded in 1890 with the mission of protecting and assisting the population of the Sintra municipality. Throughout its history, the brigade has played a fundamental role in fighting fires, rescuing victims, and responding to various emergencies. With the evolution of equipment and training, it has maintained its spirit of volunteerism and service to the community.
The contract signed between Solcor Portugal and the association includes the installation of a 66,69 kWp solar photovoltaic system for self-consumption, composed of 114 panels (585W each), two inverters, and a support structure. It will enable the production of over 88 MWh of clean energy per year and 32% energy self-sufficiency. This guarantees a reduction of 44% in electricity costs. The project also includes the safe removal of asbestos from the existing roof and its replacement with a new, safer structure.
The installation and operation of the facilities will be installed and operated by the campaign promotor: Solcor Portugal, a company specializing in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic installations.
Direct
Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of almost 88 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about four tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 175 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.
Improving the health and well-being of workers: the removal of the asbestos roof at the factory has direct health benefits for everyone who works in the building. The use of asbestos in buildings has been banned in the European Union since 2005 and its presence has been associated with cases of cancer and other lung diseases, due to the inhalation of its fibers. The removal of asbestos from the roof must be performed by technicians and specialized companies so that safety is guaranteed.
Indirect
Improvement of the organization's core services: the cost reduction in electricity expenses enables the Firefighting Association to improve their services for the community.
