IBERSOL | Annual Report 2020

Environmental Performance Covid-19 Measures Following the directives approved by the Government, some res- taurant units were closed during lockdown. During this period, the restaurants maintained the necessary electricity usage to keep the refrigeration, freezing and conservation appliances running, as well as all safety and signalling systems. During the period in which restaurants were closed, the following measures were adopted: Electricity – Reduction of contracted capacity Minimum contracted capacity levels registered during the period of closure were taken as references. Before billing, the energy provider identified the power contracted on that date and invoiced accordingly. This measure allowed for savings in the contracted capacity estimat- ed at 35 thousand Euros. Gas – Changes to invoicing tiers The provider applied the lowest gas tariff to the following tiers: - Annual consumption up to 10000m3 was invoiced according to the first tier. - Consumption above 10000m3 was invoiced according to the 4th tier. Consumption analysis Electricity The cost of the energy component in the electricity bill for 2020 re- mained the same, since the contract was signed in April 2019, on the electricity market. However, the value of the total of both compo- nents, energy plus grids, was 2.35% higher, due to a 5.94% increase in the grids. 144
