The existing solar panel system installed in 2022 on the rooftop of Purcari Winery’s production site was extended with an additional 300 kW. With a total capacity of 500 kW, the system will supply 40% of the winery’s annual electricity consumption.
On the premises of Bostavan Winery, the newly installed photovoltaic system was mounted on the rooftop of the winery’s newest warehouse. With a capacity of 200 kW, the investment is expected to ensure the production of approximately 230,000 kWh annually, around 15% of the winery’s consumption.
Both newly installed Solar Panel Systems are already in use as of the 1st of June 2023, which brings the Group’s total capacity of renewable energy production to 700 kW.
During the next three years, the company will continue its investments in increasing its production capacity of renewable energy, with the objective of covering at least 80% of its energy demand from photovoltaic power stations.
“(…) We are mindful of our carbon footprint and the impact that our products and choices have, hence we will continue to invest and implement Solar Panel Systems on the premises of most of our production platforms in the coming years (…)”, said Victor Bostan, CEO of Purcari Wineries PLC.
WINE shares have been trading up 21% so far in 2023, amid deals worth RON33.5 million. The company is valued at RON413 million.
