Roca Group has announced a long-term renewable energy purchase agreement (VPPA, or Virtual Power Purchase Agreement), spanning 10 years from 2025 to 2035, tied to the new solar plants Trévago I & II, located in the province of Soria, Spain.
The solar production facilities Trévago I and II are scheduled to begin operations in July 2025 and have a capacity of 86.84 MWp. According to a statement, 80% of the total capacity will be dedicated to Roca Group, expected to generate 120 GWh of clean energy annually, the volume needed to cover the electricity consumption of all group operations in European territory.
This initiative is expected to result in a reduction of over 50,000 tons per year of CO2 equivalent, emissions, corresponding to the group’s electricity consumption in Europe.
The group said it has already achieved a 39% reduction in its direct CO2 equivalent emissions and a 47% reduction in energy intensity between 2018 and 2022, moving closer to its net-zero ambition by 2045.
