ZAFIRA-BEN Ltd. is a company with headquarters and main production facilities in the village of Zafirovo, which carries out its main activity in the production of bread and fresh bakery products (NACE 10.71). The company's main activity includes the production of various types of bread and fresh bakery products (pastries) intended for daily distribution to retail outlets and catering establishments. The production process is energy-intensive and includes dough mixing and fermentation, shaping, baking, cooling, and packaging, requiring a constant and reliable supply of electricity for the operation of ovens, dough mixers, refrigeration and ventilation systems, as well as for lighting and air conditioning of the production premises. ZAFIRA-BEN Ltd. has separate production units – a bread workshop and a separate workshop for fresh bakery products (pastries), which is the subject of this investment. This workshop is characterized by significant electricity consumption, as it operates on a continuous production cycle and includes numerous energy consumers. High energy costs and fluctuations in electricity prices have a direct impact on the cost of production and the competitiveness of the company. As part of the project, the company plans to install a photovoltaic power plant (PVPP) for its own consumption with a maximum output power of 40 kW (AC) from the inverters. The planned PVPP will be a fully integrated solution, including photovoltaic panels, inverters, control systems, and a 40 kWh energy storage battery. This will allow the accumulation of electricity generated but not used during daylight hours and its use during peak consumption hours or when there is no sunlight. The combination of a photovoltaic installation and a battery will ensure a better energy balance, reduce peak loads, and enable efficient management of energy resources in production.
