AgriVoltaics Europe’s Post

🌍 I'm thrilled to announce that I will be delivering the keynote at the Solarplaza International Agri-PV Conference in Paris! 🌱☀️ As Senior Expert for Agri-PV at RWE Renewables, I’m passionate about merging regenerative agriculture with clean energy production. Agri-PV is a powerful solution—by using the same land for both food and energy, we can reduce competition for resources, boost farm resilience, and drive a greener, more sustainable future. The potential of Agri-PV goes far beyond pilot projects. Let’s scale it and transform farmland into efficient dual-use spaces for food production and renewable energy generation. The time is now to leverage this synergy and take Agri-PV to the next level! Looking forward to insightful discussions with industry experts and leaders at Solarplaza Together, we can shape the future of sustainable agriculture and renewable energy! 💡🌿 Check out the event page for more details: https://bit.ly/3L7EdUf #AgriPV #RWERenewables #CleanEnergy #RegenerativeAgriculture #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #AgricultureScience #AgTech #AgPolicy #AgriInnovation #ClimatePolicy #LobbyingForChange #LetScaleIt #Paris #Solarplaza #SolarPowerEurope #Digitalization #DripIrrigation #SmartFarming

💡Intersolar 2024 ☀ I'm happy to announce that I will be speakingand representing Solární asociace at the upcoming Intersolar / The smarter E conference in session "Agricultural PV: How to Tap into Europe's Huge Potential for Solar Power in Agriculture." together with excellent colleagues Ignacio Asenjo, Emilien Simonot, Stephan Schindele, Fabian Neu and the best moderator Eva Vandest 🙏 🌍As the world grapples with the challenges of #climatechange and #foodsecurity, the integration of photovoltaic systems into agricultural practices presents a transformative opportunity. ⚡ In my presentation titled "Why Eastern & Central Europe Governments Implement Supportive Policy Frameworks for Agri-PV Targets," I will discuss: 💡 The critical role of policy support in advancing #agrivoltaics in the CEE region. 🔍 I'll highlight how these policies drive energy independence, economic development, and environmental #sustainability but also what are the barriers to smooth development. 🌍  Additionally, I will showcase successful examples of arising regulatory frameworks for agrovoltaics on #Czechia regulation. 🇨🇿 🇪🇺 🏁 Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn, network, and contribute to a greener future! Looking forward to seeing you there. #Agriculture #SolarPower #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #Agrivoltaics #GreenFuture #JustTransition

🗓 Save the Date for AgZero2030's major event in 2024! As you are well aware the energy transition is underway, changing the way we potentially access and utilise energy on farms and in our communities. It presents both opportunities and challenges for farm businesses and our rural communities. There is significant government investment going into the decarbonisation of the south-west electrical grid, new renewable energy projects being developed in the agriculture regions, and new innovations emerging such as standalone power systems with the potential to electrify farm operations. For the agriculture sector to realise the opportunities, but manage the risks and challenges, we need to be well informed and armed with knowledge and understanding of what is already happening and what lays ahead. AgZero2030, in collaboration with WAFarmers, are bringing together a range of quality speakers to cover all the relevant topics of the energy transition and how it impacts farms, agriculture and our communities.

Turning Agro-Voltaic Solutions into Reality! 🌞🌿 We are thrilled to share our journey of transforming the future by seamlessly integrating agriculture and renewable energy. This is more than just innovation—it's history in the making! 🎥 Watch our video to see how we're making it happen:

This is a great video explanation of the innovations underway in #Agrivoltaics. It's approaches like this that make it so easy to keep getting excited and feeling passionate about being part of the renewable industry and how clean energy goals aren't as linear as just harnessing energy from a different source. #SustainabilityInAction #Agricutlure

The land use debaters need to take note that it is not an “either /or” when considering solar on our important land. It can be an “and”! Solar plays an vitally important role in reaching Net zero! Great examples below from REA member Lightsource bp
