The Self-Consumption Production Unit at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Sobreiras consists of 635 photovoltaic panels that produce clean energy to power the WWTP’s operations.
These panels have a capacity of 387 KWp and an estimated production of 619 MW/h per year, representing savings of around 80.000 euros per year on the energy bill.
The unit covers the administrative building and the roof of the WWTP’s treatment facilities, with a total installation area of 1.715 m².
This project is a clear example of how the city’s electrical infrastructure is being modernised to promote renewable energy production and reduce Porto’s environmental footprint, in line with the Pacto do Porto para o Clima 2030.
