Project details
Client: Costa Verde
Date: 2017
Location: Aveiro
Company Description
Porcelanas Costa Verde’s factory, located in Zona Industrial de Vagos, Aveiro, has been creating exquisite porcelain since 1992. Using a two-stage firing process at high temperatures, their porcelain products are known for their elegance, durability, impermeability, and low porosity.
Service Description
In collaboration with Helexia, Costa Verde has made a commitment to sustainable energy by investing in a photovoltaic plant. Costa Verde has taken a bold step towards sustainability by installing 3600 solar panels, which provide 25% of the factory’s energy needs.
This move has a twofold benefit – not only does it avoid the annual emission of 713 tons of CO2, equivalent to planting 18300 trees per year, but it also replaces a roof made of asbestos cement, which is harmful to human health, with a clean energy source.
All of this was made possible through a partnership with Helexia, whose innovative business model allowed Costa Verde to become more energy efficient without any upfront investment. Join us in celebrating this “two-in-one” project that’s helping to create a brighter, cleaner future for all.
”Helexia is a responsible and efficient partner. An experienced and functional partner. A competitive partner with one of the best market conditions to install our photovoltaic plant.
