Greenvolt Powers Nova Arcada with Solar Rooftop Array

• Greenvolt Next powers Nova Arcada with 1.20-MWp solar rooftop, cutting CO2 by 303 tonnes and grid reliance by 34% annually.

Greenvolt Next has successfully installed a 1.20-MWp rooftop solar system at the Nova Arcada commercial center in Braga, Portugal. The project includes 2,164 solar panels and was developed under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

The solar array is expected to generate 1,531 MWh of clean electricity annually, enabling Nova Arcada to offset 303 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year. This installation will also reduce the center's reliance on the local grid by 34%.

How Will Greenvolt Next's Solar Installation Impact Nova Arcada's Energy and Emissions?

• The 1.20-MWp solar installation will significantly contribute to Nova Arcada's energy independence by generating a substantial portion of its electricity needs on-site.
• By producing 1,531 MWh of clean electricity annually, the solar system will help Nova Arcada reduce its operational costs associated with energy consumption.
• The reduction of 303 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and supports Portugal's national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• The installation will enhance the commercial center's sustainability profile, potentially attracting environmentally conscious consumers and tenants.
• The project under a power purchase agreement (PPA) ensures long-term energy cost stability and predictability for Nova Arcada.
• The decreased reliance on the local grid by 34% will contribute to reducing grid congestion and improving energy security in the region.
• The solar installation serves as a model for other commercial centers in Portugal and beyond, showcasing the viability and benefits of renewable energy investments.
• The project supports local and national renewable energy targets, contributing to the broader transition towards a sustainable energy future.
