IBERSOL | 2019 Sustainability Report

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE > Contracted Power After observing the futures markets for 2020 and 2021, by analysing power purchase proposals, we opted to purchase power at a fixed price for the period between the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2021, at the lowest price on the futures market, €51/ MWh. Combined with the network drop, we chose the best average price in a fixed market. > Analysis of consumption Electricity *Consumption points vary annually, due to store openings and/or clo- sures, or the number of units where such information can be col- lected. By implementing the energy efficiency measures in the Ibersol Group stores, we were able to achieve a 1.81% reduction in electricity consump- tion in 2019 compared to that used by the same facilities in 2018.
