📢 We’ve officially started agricultural activities at our Alhendín agrovoltaic project! The park began supplying electricity to the local grid in May this year, and agricultural work is now underway. This 54 MWp photovoltaic park, located in southern Granada, combines renewable energy production, agricultural activities, and initiatives to enhance #biodiversity and foster social development. Recently, students from CEIP Montevive visited the park to learn about the importance of #renewables and the environmental measures we’ve implemented. This visit is part of our collaboration with Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, aimed at protecting the environment and supporting community growth. Check out the following article for more details about our agrovoltaic project and the innovative PPA signed with VELUX: https://lnkd.in/deE5UpCn

In order to combat #ClimateChange, commitment and collaboration is needed at every level. Here, we share the viewpoint of Andreas Hornig, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Wind Germany on #CommunityAcceptance 🤝 While the need to act in the face of the climate crisis is clearer than ever, pursuing #RenewableEnergy projects can be fraught with challenges. One of the most pivotal factors to consider in the pursuit of projects is community acceptance. Keeping communities engaged and informed throughout the entire project lifecycle, from planning, construction all the way to ongoing operations is essential. If local citizens feel left out of the process, renewable projects can stall, even in the face of climate urgency. Making them part of the journey reduces fear, as wind power opponents systematically try to fuel it. Our goal is to listen to every stakeholder and take their concerns seriously, to ensure they are involved and understand the project. At BayWa r.e., we prioritise establishing and maintaining open dialogues on eye level and close relationships with citizens and local communities. This helps us to: 🌱Build trust 🌱Clearly communicate the tangible benefits of our projects 🌱Keep locals at the heart of our processes 🌱Create positive transformation for people, and the planet We believe in working shoulder-to-shoulder with local, regional, and national stakeholders to deliver projects that bring real benefits to the area. Whether it's through financial participation, biodiversity initiatives, or regular project updates, we are committed to creating projects that the public feels a part of.   In Germany for example, we introduced a citizen tariff for green electricity supply at a reduced rate, and organise information events and joint wind farm visits using augmented reality technology, that enables a realistic visualisation of the planned turbines before they are erected. We also help to set up local charitable foundations and support them with proceeds from the wind farm. Early and ongoing engagement with communities is one way in which we can help to speed up the energy transition while empowering local communities. 🙌 🏡 #EnergyTransition #SustainableFuture #GreenEnergy
