The project proposal is aimed at improving the energy efficiency of “The Not Quite Company” through the construction of a photovoltaic power plant (PVPP) with a capacity of 65 kW, and the purchase of two new air-cooled chillers (14 kW and 34 kW) for the company’s production facility, as well as a heat pump (18 kW) for heating and air conditioning of the commercial site. The company operates a fast-food restaurant specializing in the production and sale of sandwiches and other culinary products. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic power plant under the project will be used exclusively for the company’s own consumption, related to its main economic activity – NACE 56.10 “Restaurants and mobile food service activities”. In the context of rising electricity prices and instability in energy markets, reducing energy costs has become a key factor for the long-term sustainability of The Not Quite Company. Through the implementation of the project, the company will improve its energy efficiency in several key areas: Significant reduction of current operating costs, by replacing purchased electricity with renewable energy produced on-site; Increased energy autonomy and reduced dependence on external suppliers; Improved product quality and safety, through stable temperature control and the elimination of risks related to raw material spoilage; Enhanced working conditions and customer comfort through better microclimate management in the commercial premises. The target group of the project is The Not Quite Company – a small enterprise seeking to modernize and optimize its energy efficiency, reduce its energy load, and achieve greater cost resilience. The project activities will be implemented across two company sites located in Sofia, in full compliance with the horizontal principles under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No. 2021/1060, including adherence to the “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH) principle to ensure no significant negative environmental impact.
