Bizkaia

Bizkaia (Barakaldo) fairground and events. It operates the largest photovoltaic roof of Bizkaia (990 kW, 2023, ~18% self-consumption, through BEC Solar with EVE), certifies its fairs as sustainable events with the Erronka Garbia label from Ihobe since 2022 and consumes 53% renewable energy.

Detail of score

The data are calculated with improvements, evidence and connections currently published in EkoPulse.

Model used for this calculation: Impact 2.0 · Reliability 1.3.

Impact: 45 points

Cumulative score

Provisional model: each improvement is assessed by its reach for this profile type, from symbolic to transformative. The same work counts once. Contributions are combined with diminishing returns, and relevant relationships are added. Evidence adds 0 direct Impact points. This does not measure tonnes or net impact.

The highest reach levels require human confirmation; until then they receive a conservative rating. New or edited improvements use a provisional level until their current text is reviewed.

0 improvements with evidence+0
2 ecosystem connections+0.08
Profile’s own base45
Ecosystem influence+0
Total impact45

The own base combines practices and direct relationships. Direct relationships and ecosystem influence together add at most 4 points. Ecosystem influence can extend up to 3 steps away and depends on relationship trust and nearby profiles’ data. A disputed relationship transmits no influence through the graph, although it can retain direct credit if its category is eligible. Relationships do not generate negative points.

The advisory thresholds are 25 profiles with improvements, 5 with at least 25 points and at least one reaching 95 points. The current figures are 112, 34 and 72, respectively. Reaching these thresholds does not activate comparison: it requires a model decision.

Reliability: D

4 / 100

The model first places the information in a band according to its supporting evidence. It then calculates the score within that band.

Contributions are shown rounded; the total uses the original calculation before final rounding. Ecosystem support is already included and is not added again. Under the current model, the maximum attainable is B+ (84/100).

Evolution of the score

The public record has just begun: for now there is only a catch to show an evolution. The next captures will be drawing how this score changes over time.

EkoPulse scores are recalculated as the available information changes and the evaluation model evolves. Methodological improvements may result in changes in the score that do not necessarily reflect an equivalent change in profile performance.

Extension of solar photovoltaic plant: 1,800 panels and 990 kW on the deck of pavilion 6 (2023) Added by EkoPulseInstallation of 1,800 solar panels (990 kW nominal) on the deck of pavilion 6, operating since late April 2023 and entirely dedicated to self-consumption, Bizkaia's largest photovoltaic roof; in its first two months it produced 217,523 kWh, about 18% of the energy consumed by BEC. Investment of €650,000 with own funds from BEC Solar, a company participated by the Basque Energy Agency (EVE) and BEC. It adds to the 2004 plant (which pours into the network) and the BEC Solar project announced in 2021 to move from 100 kW to a megawatt.
Energy
53% of energy consumed from renewable sources and extension of the charging points network for electric vehicles Added by EkoPulseTogether with the auto-consumption photovoltaic plant, BEC has expanded its network of charging points for electric vehicles and uses renewable energy in its daily activity: by 2024 53% of the energy consumed in the enclosure came from renewable sources.

Certification of their fairs as sustainable events with the Erronka Garbia label (Ihobe) since 2022 Added by EkoPulseSince 2022 BEC certifies its events with the Erronka Garbia label of Ihobe: BIEMH 2024 (1,604 exhibitors, 37,614 visitors) was audited and accredited after implementing a six-axis impact reduction plan - mobility, energy, water, shopping, infrastructure and waste - with measures such as lighting and temperature adjustment by time slots, reduced consumption of stands, minimization and selective collection of waste and sustainable signage; Steel Tech, Gustoko, Egurtek and Expovacaciones already had accreditation.
