Description
The main objective of the project is implementation of a 0,7506 MWp (DC) photovoltaic system on two existing building roofs to assure electricity from renewable resources for the own electricity consumption of Lantmannen Unibake Romania S.A. and also to reduce CO2 emissions. The rationale behind the project is to optimize electricity costs and increase the share of renewable energy used for own-consumption purposes with minimum environmental impact.
The photovoltaic plant will produce 927 MWh/year for own consumption, representing approximately 20% of the company’s yearly electricity consumption. Currently Lantmannen extracts all electricity it needs from a connection to the national grid, having used on average 4.750 MWh/year for production purposes.
The project targets focus on fossil-free production and transport, continuing energy efficiency, and investments and measures to reduce the carbon footprint by:
- Creating conditions for sustainable primary production with halved climate emissions every decade and climate neutrality by 2050,
- Reducing the climate impact of own production by 50% by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement.
- Reducing the business''s carbon footprint is a priority and the investment planned by Lantmannen Unibake Romania SA aligns to this strategy, looking to improve the Romanian subsidiary’s CO2 balance.
The project will be implemented in partnership with International Development Norway (IDN) who will help build interna expertise on green energy production for industrial usage. IDN is a professional organization with over 20 years of experience in international projects. Among their tasks for this project is performing a technical-economic comparison with the planned solution and give a second opinion on the technical specification to secure an up to date, cost effective solution, and a consistent ToR for the procurement.
