The project proposal of KOLOS Ltd. aims to improve energy efficiency and increase the share of energy from renewable sources through the installation of an own photovoltaic (PV) power plant for self-consumption and an energy storage system. The implementation of the investment will enable the company to significantly reduce its electricity consumption from the external grid, optimize energy costs, and minimize the carbon footprint of its operations. The company’s main activity is the production of vessels (bottles) for compressed or liquefied gases intended for the automotive industry, as well as for domestic and camping use, with a substantial share of exports. The project foresees the installation of a rooftop PV plant with a total installed capacity of 60 kWp, equipped with two 30 kW (AC) inverters and an energy storage system, whose capacity will comply with the procedural requirements and ensure the optimal operation of the installation. The battery storage will provide energy autonomy during peak periods and contribute to consumption balancing through mechanisms of self-consumption and peak shaving. The system will include all necessary components for protection, control, monitoring, and safe operation. KOLOS Ltd. is a manufacturing enterprise with a complex and energy-intensive technological cycle, including the unwinding and cutting of metal coils, shaping of sheets into squares and circles, pressing of bottoms, welding, and painting of the finished products. Each of these stages involves significant electricity consumption, making the implementation of a RES-based system a key factor for improving the company’s energy efficiency and production sustainability. The project fully complies with the “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH) principle and contributes to achieving the objectives of the Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises Programme 2021–2027, supporting the transition towards a low-carbon and sustainable economy.
