the first edition of the SolarPower Europe Agrisolar Best Practices Guidelines

The SolarPower Europe Agrisolar Best Practices Guidelines represents a fruitful collaboration between the solar and agricultural stakeholders, to enhance synergies to advance the energy and climate transition. Collaboration between these two sectors is essential for tackling one of the most important issues at the core of our modern livelihood, food production, and electricity generation: access to land.

Agrisolar is a rapidly expanding sector with incredible potential. It brings together two major sectors of our society and economy: agriculture and energy. With the first edition of the SolarPower Europe Agrisolar Best Practices Guidelines, we take an exciting first step in joining forces with agricultural stakeholders, to better understand how the solar and agricultural sector can work more closely together, enhancing synergies to advance the energy and climate transition.

This report, developed by SolarPower Europe’s Agrisolar workstream is a continuation of the “Agrisolar briefing” published in 2020, which shed light on the main business models and benefits of Agrisolar.

The goal of this guide is to draw on past experiences, to take stock of “what works” and “what doesn’t”, in order to advise local and international actors on successfully developing Agrisolar

It is aimed at solar and agricultural companies, investors, landowners, government departments, local authorities, associations, federations, industry associations, scientific research centres, consultancies, suppliers and, more generally, any party interested in Agrisolar.

The minimum requirements, best practices and recommendations presented in this Guide are drawn from the experiences of the members of SolarPower Europe’s Agrisolar Working Group

These new guidelines focus on establishing standards and best practices for different Agrisolar business models, in order to :

1. build trust and create a dialogue with policymakers;

2. support the harmonisation of national frameworks;

3. and advise local and international actors on how to successfully develop Agrisolar projects.

As well as producing photovoltaic electricity that will help reduce the carbon emissions of its customers and/or improve the competitive edge of their business, Amarenco is also regenerating ecosystems in areas where society is installing solar and solar-powered infrastructures;

We are mediators and regenerators because our financial, commercial, scientific and ecological ecosystems require shared intelligence to continue to develop harmoniously and lead to the regeneration of our minds and our soils.
The regenerative model we believe in is based on a logic of respect and co-creation alongside nature and all its species.

The regenerative model we believe in is based on a logic of respect and co-creation alongside nature and all its species.

This new paradigm is called the regenerative economy.

We are agents of change. Every day we carry with us positive, renewable energy, every generation, every culture, every sensitivity and every expertise…all who believe in a sustainable future.

Grace au projet #Guadiana en Espagne, #Amarenco et ses partenaires bancaires offrent des solutions innovantes et durables pour palier la hausse des prix de l’énergie !

Le lien de confiance qu’Amarenco a tissé avec ses partenaires ING, Rabobank et UniCredit, a permis de financer, à hauteur de 44,5 millions d’euros, le développement de 3️⃣infrastructures solaires majeures en Espagne.

By financing this portfolio of solar power stations, Amarenco will enable the production of a cumulative total of almost 80 MWp 👇

▶️ Altos de Lubia: 15 MW project under construction in Soria
▶️ Las Naranjillas: 50 MW project in operation in Carmona
▶️ Esquedas: 15 MW project in Huesca

The PPA purchase agreement providing for the injection of this electricity production into the local grid, especially in a period of constantly rising energy costs, are concrete opportunities combining transition and energy independence and to which a country like Spain is very sensitive.

Amarenco thanks its partners for sharing the same vision of a sustainable economy based on the choice of projects that provide decarbonised energy and supply many households while guaranteeing them a stable price for their energy.

Sur ce financement, Amarenco a été conseillé par Astris Finance, LLC (Finance), Uría Menéndez (Juridique), Enertis Applus+ (Conseiller technique) et ESTER (Couverture de taux).

Le 6 juillet, en présence de plus d’une soixantaine d’acteurs, de partenaires locaux de premier plan et du Secrétaire Général de la Préfecture, Amarenco Group et AVERGIES ont présenté le premier flotteur de la future centrale photovoltaïque, lançant la construction d’un parc solaire majeur en Lot-et-Garonne.

Amarenco et la SEM AVERGIES, créée par le syndicat Territoire d’Energie Lot-et-Garonne pour intervenir sur le développement des énergies renouvelables sur le département, ont co-investi dans un parc solaire situé sur la commune de Montpezat d’Agenais.

The Longhi family, of the Longhi Concrete Company, decided to use the land of a quarry at the end of its operation to build this floating plant, the first of its kind in the Lot-et-Garonne.

By developing and building this project, Amarenco has given new life to the gravel pit.

Les centrales photovoltaïques permettent d’accroître l’accès à une énergie provenant d’une source renouvelable et donc de réduire les émissions de GES.

♻️ The Energy transition cannot be achieved without the development of innovative storage solutions for renewable energies.

🔋 In order for decarbonized energy to continuously meet consumer energy needs, it is necessary to be able to store excess energy produced to meet peak demands.

To meet this challenge, Amarenco Group is currently developing the “Claudia” project, a lithium-ion battery storage project located in Saucats in Gironde (33).

This project is the winner of the second tranche 2022-2028 of RTE’s long-term call for tenders (AOLT). It represents 50% of the battery capacity that was allocated in the AOLT.

⚡ Its power makes it one of the largest storage projects in Europe!

▶️ 105MW of total capacity controllable by RTE to ensure security of supply and power system security.

This project is being developed in partnership with Nidec Industrial Solutions, located in Roche la Molière and a pioneer in the provision of battery energy storage solutions, to build the asset.

Today we are releasing our ESG 2021 report, Amarenco’s first sustainability report.

This is an important step in our drive for transparency, opening up the discussion about our mission and how we deliver on it to everyone.

Because our mission is to help our clients achieve carbon neutrality, increase their economic competitiveness and create additional sources of value for themselves and their local communities, while regenerating the earth’s ecosystem. 

This report is an annual gathering of our ESG projects and results that we want to involve as many people as possible.

Our teams are working hard to produce clean energy, reduce our footprint, remove asbestos, create wildlife habitat, improve our experience as employees and develop local communities.

That’s what we wanted to capture in this document, which is an initial summary of the highlights of 2021. We will soon focus on iconic and meaningful actions that shape the engagement and drive the attractiveness of our company.
