Maresme Circular<\/strong> will extend the photovoltaic roof<\/strong> of the Maresme<\/strong> Integral Centre for Waste Recovery<\/strong>, after the Barcelona Provincial Council<\/strong> approved the subsidy to do so. The installation will add 477kWh\/year<\/strong> to the current 328kWh\/year<\/strong>, which will double the current solar energy production<\/strong>. The electricity produced will be for the centre’s own consumption.<\/p>\n The extension project, which has a budget of 402,126 euros<\/strong>, plans to install 928 modules<\/strong> which, together with the existing 1,700<\/strong>, will make up the largest photovoltaic roof in Matar\u00f3 and the Maresme region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The installation will be completed between the 4th quarter of 2023<\/strong> and the 1st quarter of 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Maresme Circular is one of the main generators of renewable energies<\/strong> in Catalonia and a benchmark for the diversity of sources with which it generates energy at its facilities.<\/p>\n The Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery produces more than 100,000 megawatt hours of electrical energy each year<\/strong> from three sources: the energy recovery<\/strong> of waste that cannot be recycled, the biological treatment process of anaerobic digestion<\/strong> for the generation of biogas, and the photovoltaic roof<\/strong>, which is now to be extended.<\/p>\n Currently, two thirds of the 100,000 megawatt hours of energy produced are distributed to the grid<\/strong>, supplying electricity to some 30,000 homes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Maresme Circular thus contributes to tackling the climate emergency crisis, avoiding the use of fossil fuels for the operation of its facilities and moving towards a more sustainable<\/strong> management of materials and waste.<\/p>\n100,000 megawatt hours of electrical energy per year<\/strong><\/h3>\n
