Bright Sunday

OS Belenenses is a football club in the Primeira Liga in Portugal. Bright Sunday together with our partner SPlux have not only been able to change all lighting to LED, significantly lowering OS Belenenses energy consumption, we did it free of charge. No cost whatsoever. The reason for this is that we’re also installing 550 kWp of solar panels on their training facilities in the stadium area. The energy produced will be used by Portuguese consumers, paying for OS Belenenses L...ED-lighting in the process. As a part of this project, OS Belenenses will also replace their washing machines and dryers, that today run on gas, to newer equipment that run on electricity. As you may know football is close to religion in Portugal, so we take great pride in helping OS Belenenses. But to make sure we don’t favour any particular team, we’ve also installed solar panels and LED at Vitoria Setubal. This way both teams can be sure that whoever wins, they are part of a club with a significantly lower CO2 footprint.

Bright Sunday is funding cleantech for companies and yesterday many media outlets in Portugal and Spain shared our plans for the future. Among them Negócios, which is one of the largest media focused on economy and business. In case you don’t read Portuguese the article tells the story about how we let companies lower their CO2 footprint with zero upfront investment and savings from day one. It also mentions that we aim to invest MEUR 250 in the coming years. Yes, it’s ok to be excited about this! https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt//bright-sunday-estima-inve

We are extremely proud to announce our partnership with Innoliva, one of the leading producers of olive oil in the World (check out their website for more info on innovation, awards etc: https://innoliva.com/innovation/). The company owns more than 5 000 hectars of irrigated olive groves in Portugal and Spain. And not only do they produce some of the best olive oil in the World, they take their sustainability work very seriously. As a part of that focus on innovation and sust...ainability Bright Sunday has financed solar panels that are now installed among the olive trees and on the roof of one of the company’s oil mills. So now, not only does the sun help Innoliva make exquisite olive oil, it also produces a substantial part of the energy necessary for the modern production process.
