The project proposal is focused on the implementation of activities specified in section 13.1, point 1b) of the Application Conditions under this procedure. The investment is aimed at achieving the goal of protecting the environment, saving natural resources, in the specific case through the construction of additional capacities for the production of electricity from RES. The enterprise has the Photovoltaic plant for the production of renewable solar electric energy with consumption for own needs and with a total installed capacity of 199,800 kWp. With the current investment, photovoltaic modules with a power of 303.6 and 2 units are added. battery storage units with a capacity of 193.5 kWh. In this way, the expanded photovoltaic system reaches 503.4 kW of photovoltaic power and 387 kWh of storage batteries. An installed photovoltaic plant with a capacity of 199.8 kW is insufficient to cover the plant's consumption, as it maintains constantly operating refrigeration plants for the storage of meat and finished products. This determines the consumption profile in 24-hour mode. In addition, the enterprise carries out a number of thermal treatments of the meat, which are associated with high energy daily consumption. Thus, two groups of consumers are formed - air-conditioning installations require 24-hour energy consumption, while thermal treatment installations generate significant daily consumption. Adding additional PV capacity is justified in order to reduce electricity costs and increase the performance of the existing PV system. Analysis of the plant's capacity and consumption shows that the absorption of the energy produced by the plant will lead to a reduction in electricity costs from the grid amounting to 69% of the plant's consumption. The remaining approximately 30% of the required power from electricity will be supplemented by the power grid.
