Improvement of energy efficiency through replacement of all lighting in the plant with LEDs
Environmental improvement and improvement of working activities through the introduction of innovative equipment and structural solutions.
Purposes:
Renovation and technological upgrade of the vinegar factory
Results expected:
The investments have guaranteed increased efficiency of production processes, a higher level of technology in the winery, an increase in revenue - in particular for exports - and an improvement in energy efficiency and safety conditions

Driving the Green Change: Monari Federzoni S.p.A. and solar energy as part of the Next Generation EU Project
Monari Federzoni S.p.A. has always been committed to driving the change toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. We are aware of our responsibility to the planet and to future generations, and we are committed to integrating business practices and developing increasingly environmentally friendly production processes.
We have adopted strict policies to reduce carbon emissions, to minimize waste of natural resources, and promote energy efficiency. We are certain that sustainability is not only an opportunity to improve our competitiveness and long-term value, but more importantly a fundamental commitment to our future.
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we are pleased to announce that we have successfully invested in solar energy through the installation of a photovoltaic system at our facilities. This investment reflects our willingness to adopt innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to meet our energy needs while reducing our carbon footprint. The investment was made possible thanks to the crucial contribution and support of the “Next Generation EU” Project, funded by the European Union. This project will enable us to take a significant step toward environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
The “Next Generation EU” Project is not just a recovery plan made possible by the European Union, but represents a unique opportunity for Europe to emerge stronger and more united, transforming the economies and societies of member countries. The EU is committed to making Europe healthier, greener and more digital, and Monari Federzoni S.p.A. is excited to contribute to this transformation.
Monari Federzoni S.p.A. is grateful for the support received through the European Union’s Next Generation EU Project, which has enabled us to take this important step toward sustainability. We are excited to continue contributing to Europe’s green and digital future and to inspire others to follow our example.
Technical data: 169.600 kWp photovoltaic system. The system partially cover the consumption of electricity deriving from production activities.
The plant includes 420 modules of 400Wp each, placed on the roof of the building, and will allow an annual energy production of 203,579 kWh/year, most of which will be for self-consumption. The intervention is also functional in making Monari Federzoni S.p.A. more eco-sustainable, allowing a significant reduction in CO2 emissions from the company’s production activities.
The intervention is funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU under the PNRR, Mission 2, Component 1, Investment 2.2 “Parco Agrisolare”.
