en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mercamadrid has added two new photovoltaic installations on its fresh food distribution, sales, processing, and logistics platform, with a total installed capacity of 300 kWp. Of this, 200 kWp is installed at the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market (Mercado Central de Frutas y Hortalizas), and 100 kWp on the roof of El Hervidero.

With this expansion, the platform's total installed photovoltaic capacity has reached 660 kWp. According to Mercamadrid, this capacity can meet the facility's daytime base electricity demand and reduce dependence on external energy sources.

The expansion will continue through the Mobilities for UE project, with plans to install an additional 700 kWp at the Central Fish Market (Mercado Central de Pescados). Mercamadrid stated that this new infrastructure will be capable of storing up to 200 kWp of surplus electricity.

In terms of electric mobility, the platform has added ten new charging points in the southern parking lot of the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market, enhancing charging capacity. These include eight 50 kW fast charging points and two 150 kW ultra-fast charging points. The infrastructure also features a charging point specifically designed for accessible vehicles.

This expansion builds on an existing network that already includes twenty charging points and thirty-eight electric vehicle parking spaces distributed across different areas of the food unit.

According to Mercamadrid, over the past year, the energy supplied to electric vehicles has increased by 20%, and the number of charging sessions has grown by 5%. All supplied energy comes from renewable sources.
