Spanish glass maker Vidrala to install 12-MW solar park at its manufacturing facility

• Spanish glass manufacturer group Vidrala SA (BME: VID) announced that it has actually begun building a 12-MW solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) farm at its factory in a Castile-La Mancha town in Spain.

Construction functions started in the very first quarter.

Vidrala evaluated the practicality of the design, technical and financial facets of the project, and settled urban planning, environmental as well as administrative procedures under the support of Spanish renewable energy company Norvento Enerxia.

Norvento is likewise the project supervisor during building and construction, while Valencia-based developer Grupotec Servicios Avanzados SA will install and also commission the plant, Vidrala stated.

As soon as up and running, the solar farm will certainly enable Vidrala's Crisnova glass factory to rely much less on grid electricity for a section of its requirements as well as offset around 9,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CARBON DIOXIDE) emissions each year.

The Crisnova project is the Vidrala team's 2nd initiative to install a solar self-consumption system at one of its centers. In 2018, the business set up one such system at its logistics centre in Portugal, it stated.
