The project includes the integration of advanced technologies for the efficient production and management of energy, such as:
- Installation of an 800 kWp photovoltaic system, with an annual output of approx. 1,000 MWh—over 80% of which will be self-consumed, with the remainder fed into the grid.
- Replacement of outdated boilers with a new high-efficiency steam boiler (96% efficiency) to support production processes.
- Installation of three heat pumps, including one geothermal unit, for heating purposes, replacing old gas-based systems.
- Implementation of a BEMS (Building Energy Management System) for intelligent and centralized control of the plant’s overall energy consumption.
These interventions will lead to significant sustainability outcomes:
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions by 406 tons/year, equivalent to 32% of the site’s total emissions
- Overall energy demand reduction of 808 MWh/year
- Greater energy independence and resilience to energy price fluctuations
This project marks Phase 1 of a broader long-term plan, which includes Phase 2: the construction of a multi-functional water reservoir for agriculture and floating solar energy production—merging industrial development with local environmental enhancement.
