What will you be financing?

This campaign aims to fund an energy transition project for the Prazeres da Terra factory in Chaves.

Prazeres da Terra produces, among many other products, the traditional and famous Pasteis de Chaves, with IGP (Protected Geographical Indication).

The project includes a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption, made up of 400 460Wp panels, and will have a power output of 184Kw. The panels will be installed in a "Carport" format, to allow motor vehicles to park in the shade.

The solar panels will be installed and maintained by Ventos e Argumentos, a company specializing in photovoltaic solar installations.

What is the impact?

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.
