This commitment to renewable energies is one of the Group’s objectives within its sustainability plan

Grupo Costa is to take a step forward in its sustainability plan and install solar plants in all its production centres in Spain. This measure, the main objective of which is to increase energy efficiency and reduce the Group’s environmental impact, will be implemented from April in four phases to cover all 35 centres that Costa has in Spain, located in eleven autonomous communities. The entire process will take two years and will be developed by MNM Solar.

In total, the installed capacity will exceed 10,000 kW and its annual production will be equivalent to the self-consumption of 15,173,000 kWh per year. As a result, CO2 emissions into the atmosphere will be reduced by 9,120 tons, equivalent to the effect of planting 456,047 trees every year. Moreover, the measure also makes it possible for any surplus energy from these photovoltaic installations to be diverted to the national grid so that other consumers may make use of it and the production is not wasted. Most of the production centres are in rural areas.
