The company’s 194 (178) solar PV installations produced a total of 82.9 (69.0) million kWh, an increase of 20.2% compared to the previous year. Through this, we have reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 41,000 (43,000) tons. New contracts for an additional 10.5 (16.5) MW were signed during the quarter.

Historical comparative figures remain unchanged and are calculated based on the previous savings of 622 grams per kWh.
