Giron, the flagship of the mineral industry, is today celebrating a century of expertise and excellence in the screening. To mark the occasion, a number of convivial events and new product presentations were organized. An overview of our news of the moment.
Installation of photovoltaic panels
One of the main projects for 2024 is theinstallation of photovoltaic panels to produce our own electricity. The aim is to produce 500 kWp for our own consumption. The structural reinforcement of the building has already been completed. Cabling and preparations for the solar panels have also been completed. The photovoltaic panels will be installed in December, with commissioning scheduled for the end of the year. As of January 2025, Giron will thus be able to benefit normally from the production of energy for own consumption. The company also plans to resell the surplus once self-consumption has been achieved.
