en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish postal operator Correos has activated a new rooftop photovoltaic power plant at its automated processing center (CTA) in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona province. The plant has an installed capacity of 450 kW, consisting of 627 high-efficiency photovoltaic modules and three 150 kW inverters.

According to the postal operator, the facility can generate approximately 577.4 MWh of renewable energy annually, meeting about 24.57% of the center's electricity demand. The clean energy production avoids approximately 140 tons of CO2 emissions each year, helping to reduce Correos' carbon footprint and fulfill its environmental commitments.

This initiative is part of the company's sustainability and energy efficiency strategy, falling under the Correos Solar project. Through this project, the postal and parcel company is driving the transformation of its infrastructure toward a more efficient, resilient, and environmentally friendly model. The earlier phases of the plan include the commissioning of twelve self-consumption photovoltaic plants at various logistics centers across Spain, with a total installed capacity reaching 4.1 MW.

The Sant Cugat del Vallès plant is part of the second phase of the Correos Solar project, which also includes facilities at other strategic locations such as the Colón CTA in Barcelona and logistics centers in Valencia, Alicante, and Seville, with a combined installed capacity of nearly 1,927 kW. This deployment will continue through the third phase, adding centers in Vitoria, Palma de Mallorca, Madrid (Rampa 7), Malaga, Tenerife, and Las Palmas, aiming to significantly boost the renewable energy generation capacity of the company's logistics network. These actions build on the experience gained at the Madrid automated processing center, whose photovoltaic facility has served as a reference for the project's development. Overall, the planned phases will bring Correos' installed capacity to over 4.1 MW.
