- This will avoid a total emission to the atmosphere of 144 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to planting more than 7,200 trees.
- Endesa X will also participate in the installation of similar energy services in the González Byass bodega in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) and in the Chinchón distillery (Madrid) to offer wines and spirits with the least possible impact on the planet.
Endesa X will help the Beronia bodega that González Byass has in the Rioja town of Ollauri to take another step in its commitment to reducing energy consumption and the environmental sustainability of these emblematic facilities thanks to the installation of self-consumption.
To this end, Endesa X, Endesa's energy services subsidiary, will install 452 photovoltaic modules, with 540 wp of power per panel, with a total installed capacity of 244 kWp, which will allow this historic installation to self-consume 34% of its energy with renewable sources.
In this way, the Rioja bodega will achieve greater energy independence when the self-consumption photovoltaic plant built by Endesa X comes into operation, which will be located on its roof. This installation will avoid the emission of more than 144 tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere, which is equivalent to planting more than 7,200 trees.
Endesa X is the company chosen by González Byass to install these distributed renewable generation services in three of its most representative facilities, being the González Byass bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera and Beronia in Ollauri (La Rioja), as well as the Chinchón distillery in Madrid.
For Davide Ciciliato, CEO of Endesa X, "the commitment to this project to take advantage of natural resources through the photovoltaic solar solution, in addition to facilitating optimisation and savings in energy management, helps Gonzalez Byass to minimise the environmental footprint. Endesa X is the partner specialised in accompanying our customers in their energy transition and together decarbonising our environment".
With this, González Byass becomes an example for its sector by promoting actions of environmental respect to offer wines and spirits with the least possible impact on the planet, for which it has had the support of Endesa X.
These initiatives are part of González Byass' sustainability plan, "5+5 Caring for the Planet", which will advance to achieve the goal of Net Zero Emissions by 2050.
