Since the start of the O&M activity in this solar project, Voltalia has been focused on ways to integrate our solar plant with the local economy to reduce and optimize costs, the possibility of using animals from local shepherd to control vegetation (horses, ponies, sheep and donkeys) helps Voltalia saving about 60% of the cost of cutting the vegetation.
NOTE: Voltalia has this approach in approximately 60% of our solar parks in Portugal, always depending on the existence of local partners.
