"Chechosan" Ltd. operates under NACE Rev. 2 codes: 46.73 – Wholesale trade (57% of revenue) and 47.78 – Other retail sale of new goods in specialized stores (43% of revenue) through a construction hypermarket. This project focuses on improving energy efficiency and using RES at the construction hypermarket (NACE 47.78). Despite its smaller share of revenue, the hypermarket consumes over 85% of the company's total energy. The investment includes three interconnected assets: 1. Biomass (pellet) boilers – 2 units x 140 kW: These will replace depreciated coal and wood boilers to heat the hypermarket. Expected result: Significant reduction in carbon emissions and particulate matter, and optimization of heating costs due to higher efficiency. 2. Air-to-water heat pumps – 2 units x 18.39 kW heating capacity: For year-round climate control in the newly built 500 sq.m. retail premises, expanding the hypermarket's operations. Expected result: Optimal microclimate with minimal energy consumption, improving comfort for customers and staff, and reducing electricity use and carbon footprint. 3. Photovoltaic system – 60 kW (AC output power): Located on the roof, it will generate electricity entirely for self-consumption. Expected result: With an annual consumption of ~171 MWh (including the new heat pumps), the expected annual output is 80-85 MWh. This will cover 44-48% of the hypermarket's total needs, including the daytime consumption of the new heat pumps, reducing grid dependency. Integrated project benefits: Significant increase in energy efficiency and reduction in energy intensity. Lower operating costs through self-generation of electricity and more efficient heating. Enhanced competitiveness. Substantial ecological effect by reducing the carbon footprint and transitioning to sustainable energy sources.
