This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption at António Evaristo Gonçalves.

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.

António Evaristo Gonçalves' dedication to the quality of its products and production efficiency is reinforced by their decision to adopt solar energy as a power source. With a total capacity of 228 kWp, the investment will be channeled into two photovoltaic installations: the first will have 74.10 kWp, and the second, larger, 153.90 kWp.

The solar panels will be installed and maintained by Solcor Portugal, a company specializing in photovoltaic solar installations.

Over the first year, energy production is expected to total 375.8 MWh. The installation will significantly reduce energy costs, and significantly improve the company's self-sufficiency. The first installation aims to achieve self-sufficiency of 49% and a cost reduction of 58%, while the second is expected to contribute to self-sufficiency of 57% and a cost reduction of 66%.

This is Solcor's sixteenth campaign. 13 of the 15 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, Social Solar Solcor XIII.

Qual é o impacto?

Direct

Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 375 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 32 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 1469 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.
