On May 14, @[Julie Abastado], our Business Dev & Development, took part in the @[INES - Institut National de l'Energie Solaire] conference "Floating photovoltaic solar energy: progress and prospects in France", held in Champagne-au-Mont-d'Or, France.
🌱 This edition of the conference explores the progress and perspectives of floating solar photovoltaics in #France.
Floating solar technology enables the rehabilitation of these unused and heavily anthropized water areas to participate today in the energy transition.
Our floating solar power plant, OMEGA 1, commissioned in 2019, stands as France's largest one. Through annual faunal and floral monitoring studies, we consistently observe the near-zero impact of the panels on biodiversity.
Our participation in this event not only allows us to share our experiences and expertise but also strengthens our relationships with key players in the floating energy sector in France.
Congratulations to Julie for her valuable contribution!

🇵🇹 Akuo awarded Portugal's first agrivoltaics project!
🍏 Within the framework of the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Plan RRP, Akuo and its partners including @[Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Veterinária, IP INIAV, IP] will collaborate on the FruitPV project, located in Alcobaça.
This experimental program aims to combine #solarenergy and #agriculture to create sustainable solutions beneficial for both the environment and local farming.
🔍 With over 15 years of experience in agrivoltaics worldwide, and collaboration with @[Agriterra Group], we will implement and monitor agrivoltaics solutions specifically tailored to the cultivation of Fuji apple trees. Our goal is to find the most efficient and sustainable solutions that can be replicated on a larger scale.
Such a program is a tangible input to the agricultural and energy sovereignty of Portugal, so as to make the best of constrained land.
