📢 At the Solar Power Summit, @[Alexandra Sombsthay]([remove]-iCi) highlighted how fundamentally the role of renewables has changed during a panel on « Making Solar Supply Chains More Resilient and European ». Ten years ago, solar was mainly a climate tool. Deployment was about CO₂ targets and the lowest price. Supply chains, dependencies or geopolitical exposure were barely part of the discussion. Today, renewables sit at the heart of economic and security policy. With solar PV supply chains highly concentrated, energy transition has become a question of resilience and strategic autonomy. This is what the Industrial Accelerator Act reflects. It is not just an energy file, but a trade, industrial and security framework, using the Single Market as a powerful lever to reshape supply chains. For the solar industry, resilience is not ideological. It is about long‑term viability and the ability to deliver projects. More diversified and European supply chains will be essential. But getting there requires pragmatism. Manufacturing capacity cannot be built overnight. Projects need stable, predictable rules. Resilience criteria must be phased in line with industrial reality, and backed by real industrial support. Europe is right to treat solar as a strategic asset. The challenge now is to build it in a way that is competitive, credible - and deployable at scale. #SolarPowerSummit #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower

🌱 Une nouvelle collecte de financement participatif est ouverte pour le projet agrivoltaïque de Faux-en-Périgord, en Dordogne. 🤝 Ce projet, d’une puissance de 18,4 MWc, actuellement en développement, associe production d’électricité renouvelable et activité agricole sur près de 35 hectares. Il permettra de produire environ 26,16 GWh d’électricité par an, tout en accompagnant deux jeunes agriculteurs dans le développement de leur exploitation de cultures fourragères. Pensé pour répondre aux enjeux du changement climatique, le projet intègre des solutions concrètes pour : 🔹 sécuriser les cultures face aux épisodes de sécheresse, 🔹 optimiser la gestion de l’eau grâce à un système de récupération et d’irrigation, 🔹 favoriser des pratiques agricoles durables. 💬 « Le projet agrivoltaïque consiste en l’installation de trackers qui permettront à nos cultures de mieux résister aux sécheresses. L’irrigation qui sera mise en place assurera une sécurité supplémentaire pour nos cultures au vu du climat actuel. Nous sommes deux jeunes agriculteurs motivés par l’innovation et ce projet s’inscrit dans une démarche innovante de développement durable. » Florian Bonal & Martin Fradet, agriculteurs exploitants. 👥 Cette collecte est ouverte aux habitants de la communauté de commune Portes Sud Périgord à partir du 24 avril, puis aux habitants de Dordogne et des départements voisins : Charente-Maritime, Charente, Haute-Vienne, Corrèze, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne et Gironde à partir du 4 mai. ➡️ Pour plus d’informations et pour investir, rendez-vous sur : https://lnkd.in/ebNBwSNZ ou https://lnkd.in/eGuxrm6C #Crowdfunding #Agrivoltaïsme

Shaping a more sustainable future thanks to knowledge and education 🌍 At Akuo, we believe the energy transition is about more than just installing solar panels or wind turbines; it is fundamentally about transferring knowledge to future generations. This is the core mission of the Akuo EduLab project, our new "Living Lab" for sustainable education launched in the Republic of North Macedonia in partnership with Eco Logic and the Goce Delcev University, and with the support of the French Embassy in the Republic of North Macedonia. This innovative program supports Educational Sciences students in acquiring green competencies and gives them the opportunity to pass this knowledge on to primary school pupils aged 6 to 12 through hands-on school activities. Designed as a hybrid model connecting higher education and school practice, Akuo EduLab aims to make sustainability topics more accessible, interactive and relevant to everyday life. 🎓 Covering themes such as renewable energy, biodiversity, sustainable gardening, systems thinking and environmental communication, the project contributes to building stronger environmental awareness and practical teaching skills. 🧑🏻‍🏫 These future teachers will then have the opportunity to put theory into practice thanks to a 45-day internship in primary schools. By investing in future teachers and creating space for children to become familiar with sustainable development topics from an early age, the project aims to contribute to stronger environmental awareness, improved pedagogical capacities and closer cooperation between universities and schools. #Sustainability #AkuoEduLab #Education #RenewableEnergy #NorthMacedonia #FutureGenerations

🤝 Akuo reinforces its long-term commitment to Greece’s energy transition at the Greece-France Economic Forum This weekend, Akuo took part in the French presidential delegation to Greece, alongside French and Greek leaders, to strengthen strategic and economic cooperation between our two countries.  At the Greece-France Economic Forum in Athens, our CEO @[Bruno Bensasson]([remove]\_-) spoke during the Energy Transition panel, sharing perspectives on Europe’s path toward a more resilient, sovereign and decarbonized energy system.  ✒️ This visit was also marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of renewable energy projects in Greece, in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.  🗣 ”France and Greece are strong European partners, to all extent. Akuo is honoured to contribute to this enrooted partnership for its energy part, as energy is a key condition for economic and social prosperity as well as for sovereignty. The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding with @[Jasper Wind SA] and @[AirEnergy SA] illustrates Akuo’s ambition to deepen its investments in Greece, to work closely with trusted local partners and to contribute concretely to the country’s energy transition with affordable, local and sustainable electricity supply." Bruno Bensasson. 🤝 Present in Greece since 2019, Akuo has built a portfolio of 1.4 GW of solar, wind and storage projects, contributing to the country’s ambitious energy transition. Greece is a key country for Europe’s energy future, and Akuo is proud to support this momentum through long-term commitment, dialogue, cooperation and concrete projects on the ground. #GreeceFranceEconomicForum #EnergyTransition

🌍 On this International Earth Day, we take a moment to look at what exists around our sites. Beyond producing renewable energy, our projects also share space with local ecosystems. Take a closer look at life around our installations: 🐑 Sheeps, goats and cows grazing beneath our solutions, naturally maintaining the land 🐝 Bees contributing to local pollination and biodiversity 🌸 Wildflowers growing freely across our sites Small ecosystems, coexisting with our projects and helping bring them to life. #EarthDay #Biodiversity #renewablernergy
