INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 2022 · Optimisation of irrigation operations (timing and timing) in shops with outdoor gardens. · Vehicle Fleet: conversion to electric vehicles · For new restaurants, carrying out building projects with better ener- gy performance through architectural and engineering solutions that favour energy saving (e.g. maximisation of lighting through natural light with glazing; use of building solutions and materials with greater thermal insulation) and through the incorporation of more energy ef- ficient and resource saving equipment. Reactive Energy Excessive reactive power consumption, associated with low power factor values, presents disadvantages: - Reduced useful life of the equipment; - Penalties on the bill from the electricity distributor; - Over-utilisation of installed capacity. This energy was compensated in the restaurants through the instal- lation of capacitor banks in the Low Voltage General Switchboard, compensating all the reactive energy. Tests were made to the capaci- tor banks already installed that were malfunctioning and were not compensating the reactive energy. Photovoltaic Autoconsumption In 2022, in addition to the existing photovoltaic installations, with a subsidised tariff scheme for micro-production, photovoltaic panels were installed at more consumption sites. For these photovoltaic in- stallations it is estimated a reduction of 29% to the total value of the invoice and a payback of 5 years. The installation of photovoltaic solar energy systems for the produc- tion of electricity on the roofs and in the car parks of the drive-in res- taurants is under study, a project for which an application was made to the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). 191
