Cepsa, Redexis boost photovoltaic power at service stations
In total, more than 40,000 solar panels will be installed with a production capacity of more than 32,800 MWh per year.
Redexis and Cepsa have begun creating the first global network of service stations generating renewable energy in Europe. Both companies plan to complete the installation of photovoltaic panels throughout Cepsa's service station network in Spain and Portugal by 2023.
Currently, these panels are present at 75 service stations and the companies plan to end 2021 with more than 200 photovoltaic installations completed.
More than 40,000 high-tech photovoltaic panels will be used with a production capacity of more than 32,800 MWh per year, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 11,000 homes.
"Cepsa's goal is to accelerate the energy transition, both in our operations and the energy solutions we offer our customers. The fact that our service station network will become the first complete network in Europe to generate renewable energy is a major step in this direction and a clear signal to our customers that our transition is underway,” said Pierre-Yves Sachet, Cepsa's commercial director.
Cepsa operates the second largest network of stations in Iberia (Portugal and Spain) with more than 1,800 stations.
Redexis will take care of the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the panels.
