Our vision is to be a pioneer and a changemaker for regeneration. To achieve this, we have developed a four-stage roadmap with key milestones in 2023, 2025, 2030 and 2050 to reach our regeneration ambition.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗘𝗦𝗚 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, an important step in our sustainability journey, which doesn’t just stop at reducing emissions, but aims to actively regenerate ecosystems by integrating regeneration into our day-to-day business as a way to create environmental and economic value.

Ana Dubois, Head of ESG end ECHO “Solar power has the opportunity to regenerate ecosystems by increasing carbon capture in the ground and integrating photovoltaic and ecological infrastructures. The key is cooperation among players in the project value chain and increasing the skills of internal teams in biodiversity issues

” Alain Desvigne, Chief Executive Officer “We see this report as a blueprint for the sustainable and regenerative future we are building together. As we prepare for the 2025 CSRD and the global environmental and social challenges that lie ahead, we don’t see ourselves as mere participants in the global transition to renewable energy; we are pioneers, setting the course for an industry-wide transformation. Our journey is ambitious, but it is also necessary.”

The report offers a tailored scoring system to evaluate the performance of agrisolar projects across agricultural, environmental, social, economic, and lifecycle quality criteria.

The report also explores real-world examples of Agrisolar projects in the EU, including data on crop yield, water usage, land efficiency, biodiversity enhancement, and socioeconomic benefits.

Eva Vandest, Head of Public Affairs, of Amarenco : “Today, Agri-PV is at the heart of public debate. We are proud that these guidelines are now being translated into several languages, starting with French. The report provides a set of highly practical guidelines which will be instrumental in developing the technology, as well as being relevant to the lives of farmers, local players, and solar project developers.”

At Amarenco, we are extremely proud to be a part of this with SolarPower Europe, in collaboration with the members of the Agrisolar Workstream and agricultural sector partners.

Unique, emblematic, ecologically and economically significant: Amarenco inaugurated its very first hybrid solar power plant in France on September 21.

Strategically located in Montpezat d’Agenais in the Lot-et-Garonne department, this plant covers 5 hectares, 3 of which are floating, of the 8-hectare industrial site belonging to the Longhi Béton company.

Already operational for several months, it currently generates 6,170 MWh at a power of 4.8 MWp, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 2,500 people (excluding heating and hot water production).

The plant will save 250 tonnes of CO2 every year, the equivalent of 1,300 flights from Paris to New York.

More than 90 people were present on September 21, 2023 to witness this landmark event in our quest for a cleaner, more resilient energy future: journalists, executives, partners.

Amarenco has been informed of the existence of fraudulent practices by people impersonating some of its employees, encouraging individuals to invest in renewable energy projects via participatory financing.
Amarenco advises anyone who is the subject of such solicitations to be extremely vigilant.
These approaches constitute attempts at fraud, which may involve deceptive solicitations seeking to carry out a transaction by means of a bank transfer or dematerialised payment.
These solicitations are made by e-mail or by telephone using Amarenco’s name. While these may seem serious at first glance, there are certain details that should alert you to potential fraud.

Adopt the right reflexes

Never click on a link in an e-mail asking you to connect in order to reactivate a bank account, check suspicious transactions or enter bank details.
Always check the sender’s address.
Amarenco strongly urges you to beware of offers that are too attractive, that promise a very high and risk-free return, and that require you to make a decision or take action quickly. Under no circumstances do we offer to invest directly in renewable energy projects, as proposed by recent fraud attempts that have been identified.
Generally speaking, Amarenco does not offer direct investments or banking products, whether for investment or savings.

What should I do if I have any doubts?

If you have any doubts, the Amarenco teams are at your disposal on +33 5 63 34 20 42. They will quickly check whether or not the person contacting you works for Amarenco, and whether or not they are impersonating the person who signed the email.
It is also advisable to consult the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) blacklist of all fraudulent companies.

What should I do if I fall victim to a scam?

It is imperative to lodge a complaint immediately with the nearest police station or gendarmerie.
You should also report the e-mail or phishing site to :

• – the Phishing Initiative website, to feed the databases of the various browsers to block access to these sites
• – the Internet Signalement (Pharos) site, to report the illegality of the site to the police.
  Finally, it is important to contact the Amarenco teams on +33 5 63 34 20 42

Eva Vandest presented version 2 of the guide to good agrisolar practice at Intersolar.

Agrisolar is an ideal solution for decarbonising the agriculture sector, benefiting both farmers and nature.

Dual land-use initiatives thanks to agripv are helping to reduce water usage on farms, improve crop yield and protect biodiversity.

This new report provides guidance for the deployment of sustainable Agri-PV practices for solar industry stakeholders; it also addresses wider stakeholder groups and serves as an informative tool for the Agrisolar sector.

Spectrum has developed and owns several BOT (Build Operate Transfer) solar projects in Jordan for commercial and industrial consumers, positioning itself as a leader in the local market.

Amarenco MENA’s acquisition of Spectrum supports the company’s expansion strategy in Jordan, and reinforces its commitment to invest in renewable energy projects that contribute to sustainable development.

Following the acquisition, Spectrum will be rebranded as Amarenco Jordan, becoming the main platform for Amarenco MENA in Jordan, with a target to own 200MW.

Amarenco has acquired 100% of Infracapital’s portfolio of assets in Infram Energy (owner of ground- and roof-mounted PV solar panels).

This acquisition reinforces our desire to support and increase an already exceptional dynamic which, among other things, has enabled :

The construction of a stable yielding portfolio of 220 sites with a capacity of over 125MW from initial operational portfolio of 19MW

The management and grew of a strong pipeline of assets which currently stands at c.50.4MW

The production of 131.5GWh of clean energy over 2021, powering one million French households for over 131 hours and avoiding 6,328 tons of CO2 emissions

We would like to thank Infracapital and Infram for their trust and their shared vision regarding the changing needs of our society related to the decarbonisation and securing of energy, in France and throughout the world.
