Strengthening our partnership with FNAC in Portugal
ACCIONA and Fnac Portugal are enhancing their collaboration in climate action and the Green Economy with the renewal of ACCIONA’s 100% renewable energy supply contract that serves Fnac’s 46 stores in Portugal.
Under the contract, announced in February 2021, ACCIONA will provide Fnac Portugal with almost 13,000MWh of renewable capacity, certified with 100% Renewable Guarantees of Origin by the EEGO (Entidade Emissora de Garantias de Origem) platform of Portugal’s electricity group REN (Rede Elétrica Nacional). Through this collaboration, Fnac Portugal will avoid 3,800 tons of CO2 per year.
ACCIONA began working with Portuguese subsidiary of the French technology and culture retail group in 2019 through green energy generation and supply solutions. Since then, Fnac Portugal has already reduced its annual CO2 emissions by 3,800 tons, which is equivalent to taking 1,462 cars off the road or planting 6,700 trees. By renewing the contract with ACCIONA for another two years, Fnac Portugal showcases its commitment to the Fnac Darty group’s strategy to implement initiatives that reduce the environmental impact of its brands and activities.
In addition to the commercialization of clean energy, ACCIONA has 166MW of renewable generation assets in Portugal, including wind and solar installations. The Company’s portfolio in Portugal includes 16 wind farms, as well as one of the largest photovoltaic plants in the Iberian Peninsula, the 46MWp Amareleja Solar Power Plant, capable of covering the energy needs of 30,000 Portuguese families and avoiding the emission of approximately 90,000 tons of CO2 each year.
