The Greenvolt Group, through Greenvolt Comunidades, signed an agreement with Millennium bcp so that the bank’s branches in the national market will become consumers of the clean energy generated by their communities.
Millennium has 399 branches in Portugal, from the North to the South of the country, but also in the Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores. As part of the agreement reached, all branches will join as consumer members of Greenvolt Comunidades’ energy communities.
“This is an extremely relevant agreement for the Greenvolt Group, recognizing the work that Greenvolt Comunidades has been developing in promoting energy sharing solutions”, says João Manso Neto. “Having Millennium bcp join our energy communities fills us with pride for being able to help the bank in this energy transition process”, adds the CEO of the Greenvolt Group.
Greenvolt Comunidades currently has more than 120 communities already implemented or in the implementation phase and which will, from now on, have more than 60 bank consumption points as consumer members, representing 12% of the total.
Miguel Maya, CEO of Millennium bcp, states that “this partnership with Greenvolt reflects the reinforcement of Millennium bcp’s commitment to assuming a leading role in the energy transition process, as all of the Bank’s branches will become consumers of clean energy . This protocol is part of Millennium bcp’s energy transition process, which has already ensured that all energy used in the Bank’s central services comes from renewable sources, largely generated by the photovoltaic plants installed at TagusPark”.
In its energy transition process, Millenium BCP implemented a photovoltaic plant in the facilities where the bank’s central services operate at TagusPark, in Oeiras, with more than 3,700 solar panels, in 2020, and started using 100% green energy in its installations in Portugal, both in central services and branches, in a mix of energy produced by the photovoltaic plant and energy acquired with a certificate of renewable origin.
