Solar Power Plants: Renewable energy at Sogrape
In order to equip our facilities with an autonomous capacity to produce renewable energy to supplement purchased electricity, a solar power plant was installed at Sogrape's main office in Avintes in 2019, with another installed at the company’s winery in Anadia in 2020.
These plants provide significant cost savings, while simultaneously cutting annual emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere on the order of 600 tonnes since its start-up.
