Photovoltaic self-consumption of 1.61 MWp in Castellgalí

The rooftop PV system will facilitate energy savings of at least 25% and reduce its carbon footprint by more than 613 tons of CO₂.

A 1.61 MWp rooftop photovoltaic self-consumption project that will allow the company not only to achieve its objectives of reducing costs and polluting emissions, but also to obtain maximum certainty in the face of the volatility of current electricity market prices.

‍

The facility consists of 2,926 solar panels with a capacity of 550 Wp TIER 1, which will occupy 7,645 m2 on the rooftop of Atrian Bakers’ warehouse.

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 a surplus for the company.

After the installation, according to ekhi's project assessment, the company will reduce its carbon footprint by 613 tons of CO₂ emissions annually

‍

The figure corresponds to more than 5.2 million kilometres travelled by a car or to planting more than 30,600 trees annually.

Once the installation is operational, which is December 2023, Atrian Bakers will benefit from energy savings of 25% annually over the next fifteen years.

Find out more about this case in our podcast, where we talk to our customer about his experience with Ekhi and the benefits and advantages that the installation has brought to his company.

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.”
