Photovoltaic self-consumption of 1.22 MWp in Alzira

The installation will enable The Natural Fruit Company to save up to 33% in energy costs and reduce its carbon footprint by more than 500 tons of_CO2.

The panels, of the Trina Solar brand, will occupy 5,902 square meters of the roof surface of The Natural Fruit warehouse. An installation with an annual production of 1,843 MWh. This will allow them not only to achieve their objectives of reducing energy costs and_CO2 emissions, but also to obtain maximum certainty in the face of the volatility of current electricity market prices.

The plant consists of 2,120 solar panels of 455 Wp and 580 of 445 Wp, which will occupy 5,902^m2 of the roof area of the building

The contractual model of the agreement is an On Site PPA, whereby Ekhi will be in charge of installing and distributing the energy and maintaining the facility.

The project has been designed for self-consumption without surplus. Upon completion of the agreement in 15 years, the plant will become the property of The Natural Fruit Company until the end of its useful life.

Following the installation of the solar panels, according to the project study, the fruit processing company will reduce its carbon footprint by 500 tons of_CO2 emissions_over the life of the facility.

This figure is equivalent to more than 103,146,803 kilometers traveled by a car or 24,980 trees planted per year.

Upon completion of the installation, scheduled for the first quarter of 2023, The Natural Fruit Company will be able to save up to 33% annually on its energy costs for the next fifteen years.

Savings equivalent to approximately 122,400 euros per year until the end of the plant's useful life 

The project has been approved by the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) for a grant of 198,191.00€, financed by the European Union through the Next Generation EU fund line, within the framework of the European Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

This is a very significant project that places us on the map of Spanish self-consumption after our landing as a new player in the market and reaffirms our commitment to a project for a society aware of efficient and responsible consumption. It is an example of the strategy that Ekhi will follow to enable users to achieve their goals of sustainability and cost reduction, accompanying them in their electrification transition and providing them with the necessary resources to do so. The evolution of self-consumption in Spain allows us to be part of a sector that will experience significant growth over the next few years.”
