What will you be financing?

The aim of this campaign is to finance a photovoltaic power plant for self-consumption at Manuel Rodrigues Herdeiros, S.A., a Portuguese company engaged in the production of ham.

The plant will be fitted with 284 photovoltaic solar panels, with 153,36 kWp of total installed power.

The installation, operation, monitoring and preventive maintenance of the solar panels will be carried out by Enforce SA, a Portuguese company founded in 2001, dedicated to Energy Engineering. The company has already done the installation of a solar panel campaign through Goparity, at the Associação Centro Social do Sagrado Coração de Maria do Ferro.

What is the impact?

Direct:

Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of 246,18 MWh, the solar plant will help prevent the emission of 50 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of planting 2.272 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.

Indirect:

Promotion of a transition towards more efficient resource use: installing a solar plant in a ham-producing company is an example of the applicability of solar power for such businesses, setting a benchmark for this segment in Portugal.
