Maresme Circular<\/strong> is expanding the photovoltaic roof<\/strong> of its Integrated Waste Recovery Centre<\/strong> in the Maresme<\/strong>. This new installation will double<\/strong> the solar energy production<\/strong> capacity, adding 477 MWh\/year<\/strong> to the 375 MWh\/year<\/strong> generated until now, which is another step forward in the centre’s energy efficiency<\/strong>. All the energy generated will be used for auto-consumption<\/strong>, making the facilities more sustainable.<\/p>\n The project, with a budget of 260,957<\/strong> euros and financed thanks to a grant from the ‘Renewable Sector Program 2030’<\/strong> of the Barcelona Provincial Council<\/strong>, involves the installation of 766 new photovoltaic modules<\/strong> with 485Wp<\/strong> power, which are added to the existing 1,700<\/strong>, thus forming the largest photovoltaic roof in Matar\u00f3<\/strong> and the Maresme region.<\/p>\n Maresme Circular is thus consolidated as one of the main generators of renewable energies<\/strong> in Catalonia and a reference for the diversity of sources with which it generates energy in its facilities.<\/p>\n The Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery<\/strong> produces more than 100,000 megawatt hours<\/strong> of electrical energy each year from three sources: the energy recovery<\/strong> of waste that cannot be recycled, the biological treatment process of anaerobic digestion to generate biogas<\/strong>, and the photovoltaic roof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Centre is currently 100% energy self-sufficient<\/strong> and distributes two thirds of the 100,000 megawatt hours of energy produced to the grid, supplying electricity to some 30,000 homes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Maresme Circular is therefore continuing to contribute to addressing the climate emergency crisis, avoiding the use of fossil fuels for the operation of its facilities, while moving towards a more sustainable management of materials and waste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n100,000 megawatt hours of electrical energy per year<\/strong><\/h3>\n
