Revigrés doubles clean energy production with Helexia

Helexia was the partner company responsible for designing, realizing and implementing the second phase of the photovoltaic plant, enabling Revigrés to double its capacity to produce clean energy. In operation are 7,328 photovoltaic panels and a power of 2.9MWp, resulting in a solar energy production of 4 GWh/year. With the new photovoltaic park it is also possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 1826 tons/year, which corresponds to the planting of about 47,000 trees.

The industry sector in Portugal has a huge potential to improve competitiveness through the decarbonization of energy generation, which progressively can be local and renewable due to the evolution of technology and regulation. The sector where the Ceramics Industry is inserted had a self-consumption of electricity below 0.9% in 2021, according to official data, when the global potential is around 13%, according to a study published by Helexia. Achieving a self-consumption close to 20%, allows to benefit from a competitive electricity cost and to increase its energy independence in the long term
