ERDF Funds

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is one of the main financial instruments of European cohesion policy. Its aim is to help reduce disparities in the levels of development between European regions and to improve the standard of living in the least-favoured regions. Particular attention is paid to regions suffering from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps, such as the northernmost regions, which have a low population density, and island, cross-border and mountainous regions.

PROJECTS

Energy Efficiency Plan

The measures set out in the Energy Efficiency Plan for Alestis Sevilla and Alestis Tecnobahía aim to implement improvements previously identified in the energy audits carried out, in the following areas: air conditioning (measures relating to air conditioning equipment to improve performance, as well as passive elements to improve insulation), lighting (replacement of inefficient lighting with energy-efficient equipment) and plant equipment (measures aimed at improving the efficiency of plant equipment and machinery).

At Alestis Sevilla, the total investment for the project, which is scheduled for completion on 28 April 2023, will amount to €1,350,000, with funding of €317,312.63.

The grant application was submitted under the Resolution of 22 July 2019, which announced the energy efficiency incentives for industry in Andalusia for the years 2019 and 2020, pursuant to Royal Decree 263/2019 of 12 April.

Tecnobahía Self-Consumption

ALESTIS AEROSPACE SL, in line with its commitment to the environment, the promotion of renewable energy and the reduction of energy consumption, has implemented a self-consumption photovoltaic system.

The main objective of the project has been to generate electricity in a sustainable and efficient manner, whilst also reducing the company’s dependence on conventional energy sources, thereby improving security of supply. The project has been funded with the support of the European Union under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, through the Next Generation EU Funds.

The installation has been carried out at the Alestis Aerospace, S.L. production facility located in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz), and has involved the installation of inverters and photovoltaic modules, with a total generation capacity of 993.6 kW and a nominal inverter capacity of 800 kW. The investment amounted to a total of €701,740.90, of which €105,261.14 was subsidised.

Energy Efficiency Plan in Puerto Real

The measures set out in the Energy Efficiency Plan for Alestis Puerto Real aim to replace a fixed-speed compressor with a more efficient variable-speed compressor, which will improve the facility’s energy performance and reduce the plant’s energy consumption. This measure falls within the scope of energy efficiency, contributing to the optimization of the plant’s energy consumption through the installation of more efficient equipment. The grant application was submitted under the Resolution of 22 July 2019, which announced energy efficiency incentives for industry in Andalusia for the years 2019 and 2020, in accordance with Royal Decree 263/2019 of 12 April.

The grant was awarded on 5 June 2024, with a 24-month timeframe set for the implementation of the project, to which a further 3 months are added for the submission of the final report. The total investment for the project, file number 357760, will be €62,761.00, with funding of €15,417.45.
