In January 2021 ACCIONA Energía announced that it had signed a contract to supply 100% renewable electricity to STCP – Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto
Under the contract, the installations of the biggest road transport operator in the city, as well as the company’s management systems and electric vehicle fleet, will be supplied with clean electricity. This will avoid the emission of 1,046 tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere per year in the area where STCP operates.
The contract stipulates that ACCIONA will supply around 5,000 MWh of electricity certified as of 100% renewable origin, according to the EEGO (issuing body for guarantees of origin) of the REN (National Grid) platform. With this contract, ACCIONA becomes the first supplier to certify -in the EEGO- that all the energy supplied to all its clients has a guarantee of being of 100% renewable origin.
STCP has undertaken to reduce its CO2 emissions and develop a sustainable mobility system in the six municipalities where it operates (Porto, Gaia, Gondomar, Maria, Matosinhos and Valongo) by contracting its energy supplies of completely renewable origin.
STCP thus joins more than 50 clients that ACCIONA supplies with 100% renewable energy in Portugal. ACCIONA only sells 100% clean energy and expects to certify all the energy supplied in the new EEGO platform to consolidate itself as the biggest supplier of 100% renewable energy in the Portuguese market.
