Purcari Winery installs PV system at Bostavan Winery

Alina Oprea
Purcari Wineries Public Company Limited continues its efforts in sustainability by extending its photovoltaic system located at Purcari Winery and installing a new system on the premises of Bostavan Winery. The existing Solar Panel System installed in 2022 on the rooftop of Purcari Winery's production site, was extended with an additional 300 kW. Now comprising a total capacity of 500 kW, the system will supply 40% of the winery's annual electricity consumption. On the premises of Bostavan Winery, the newly installed photovoltaic system was mounted on the rooftop of the winery's newest warehouse. With a capacity of 200 kW, the investment is expected to ensure the production of approximately 230,000 kWh annually, around 15% of the winery's consumption.

Both newly installed solar panel systems are already in use as of the 1st of June 2023, which brings the Group's total capacity of renewable energy production to 700 kW.

During the next 3 years, the company will continue its investments in increasing its production capacity of renewable energy, with the objective of covering at least 80% of its energy demand from photovoltaic power stations. “Environmental sustainability and sustainable production remain important objectives in our activity. We are mindful of our carbon footprint and the impact that our products and choices have, hence we will continue to invest and implement solar panel systems on the premises of most of our production platforms, over the coming years. Purcari Wineries Group made another serious step in its sustainability journey, towards a better future for the world in which we live”, says Victor Bostan, CEO of Purcari Wineries PLC.
