About Adega Cooperativa Cantanhede
Direct
- Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 248 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of more than 34 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 1550 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.
- Support of electric mobility: through the installation of chargers for electric vehicles, the project supports e-mobility.
Indirect
- Promoting sustainable business: the project developed for Prazeres da Terra 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.
- Support for the decentralization of investments in Portugal: the city of Chaves, where the installation will happen, in the northern region of Portugal classifies as a less developed region in the country. Thus, sustainable investments in the region are needed to strengthen the economy and the community and prepare it for the future.
