The collaboration focuses on a new 7.8\u00a0MW self-consumption solar project developed under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valeo\u2019s plant in Martos is one of the Group\u2019s largest lighting R&amp;D centers and production sites. It has adopted Finlight\u2019s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, ensuring 100% self-consumption of the clean electricity generated at an external location, situated 6,000&nbsp;meters away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this infrastructure, the Valeo factory now generates and self-consumes over 90% of the energy produced by the site, totaling 13.52&nbsp;GWh annually. This transition allows the plant to meet 16% of its total energy requirements through locally sourced, clean power. The environmental impact is significant: the project will prevent approximately 3,350&nbsp;tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions each year, the capacity of more than 134&nbsp;000&nbsp;trees each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valeo, a global leader in automotive technology, has partnered with POWEN, a leader in photovoltaic solutions, to advance its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
