The Valašské Meziříčí site also includes charging stations for electric trucks of the transport company, which is the sole tenant here.
The power plant is connected to the transmission system, it will annually supply up to 950 MWh of clean energy to the park's tenant and will sell the rest of the electricity produced to the distribution network. For every MWh of electricity produced from solar panels, the Arete group will prevent the release of 370 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. This is a calculation based on the current average emission factor for electricity in the Czech Republic (370 kg CO2/MWh). Therefore, photovoltaics in this park will prevent the release of approximately 351.5 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. The saved carbon footprint corresponds to the amount of emissions that 320 Czech households produce annually only when consuming electricity.
The park in Valašské Meziříčí provides more than 25,000 m2 of space. The sole tenant is the logistics company DB Schenker. In cooperation with the tenant, charging stations for the Volvo FH Aero Electric electric trucks, which DB Schenker uses on its regular international route to Hungary, have been installed in the fleet. The charging stations are built at its terminals in the Czech Republic (in addition to Valašské Meziříčí, also in Brno and Prague) and in Slovakia (in Bratislava) and are used to charge e-trucks at night or en route to their final destination.
