Destilerías Muñoz Gálvez bets on photovoltaic energy with its facilities attached to the FEDER 2014/2020 operational program for the Region of Murcia in the “Promotion of Energy Efficiency and the use of Renewable Energies by Companies, particularly SMEs”

During 2018, continuing with its carbon footprint and energy consumption reduction policy, DESTILERÍAS MUÑOZ GÁLVEZ S.A. has contracted and executed a piece of photovoltaic generation equipment, 106,795 Watt-peak and 105,000 Watts nominal, with the installation company CEROGRADOSSUR S.L., which are added to the installation of 40,000 Watts implanted in 2014.

In this way, a total of 147,955 W of installed peak photovoltaic power is already available in our factory in Murcia, therefore we hope to generate more than 200,000 KWh per year, which represents approximately 20% of the electrical energy that we consume.

This last action, with a nominal capacity for the generation of a 105 KW power, is expected to generate around 170,000 KWh (approx. 14.6 toe/year), which represents 15% of the annual consumption of our plant. In addition to a reduction in the production of greenhouse gases (GHG) estimated at about 59.31 tons of CO2 equivalent.

The facilities have been fully operational since December 2018, with a total installation cost of € 184,550, of which € 55,365 are object of a subsidy granted by the European Union.
