Aquila invests over 220,000 Euro in photovoltaic plants with a total capacity of 230 kW

Aquila, one of the leaders of the consumer goods distribution market, invests over 220,000 Euro in the expansion of the photovoltaic plant inaugurated this year and in the construction of a new plant in Ploiesti, with a total combined capacity of 230 kW.

„We focus on sustainability in multiple areas of our activity, and power sustainability is one of the key priorities. For more efficiency, predictability, and control, we have chosen to accelerate the investment in photovoltaic plants. We thus sustain a predictable cost level, can maintain our quality and performance commitments and, at the same time, reduce our environmental footprint by consistently cutting the emissions,” said Razvan Bagherea, Organization and Human Resources Director, Aquila.

The photovoltaic plants are in Ploiesti and will reduce the levels of CO2 emissions from the power consumption by over 113 tons per year.

The photovoltaic plant, recently expanded to a total capacity of 200Kw, will lead to a 60 percent decrease in the amount of electricity purchased for the respective activity unit, while the second investment, located at Aquila’s headquarters, will generate, in its turn, savings of approximately 27 percent of the amount of electricity purchased for the place of consumption.
