Association for Sustainable Agri-PV Highlights the Opportunities Agri-PV Offers for Agriculture and the Regulatory Requirements

On February 7, 2024, the first closed-door meeting of the Association for Sustainable Agri-PV (VnAP) took place in Berlin, and we participated as a founding member. The VnAP is strongly committed to promoting responsible and sustainable agri-PV. By utilizing supporting technologies, this initiative aims to benefit agriculture while simultaneously increasing public acceptance of renewable energy.

The interdisciplinary participants at the conference—representing agriculture, environmental protection, the energy sector, law, and academia—agreed that the agricultural sector faces major challenges. In addition to increasing production requirements, farmers are tasked with managing their operations in a way that takes climate protection and biodiversity into account, while simultaneously grappling with uncertain crop yields and the loss of subsidies.

In diesem Kontext betont der VnAP die Bedeutung der Agri-PV als multifunktionalen Lösungsansatz und fordert eine verstärkte Integration dieser Technologie in die Agrarpolitik. Gleichzeitig warnt der Verband vor einer unzureichenden Regulierung, die es der Energiewirtschaft ermöglichen könnte, konventionelle PV-Konzepte unter dem Deckmantel der Agri-PV auszurollen, was langfristig die landwirtschaftliche Primärproduktion gefährden könnte. Zum Schutz der Landwirtschaft und für die dauerhafte Akzeptanz der Agri-PV sind daher eine strikte Regulierung und eine nachhaltige Partizipation der Landwirtschaft notwendig.

Unser gemeinsames Ziel ist es, uns in diesem Prozess aktiv einzubringen und konstruktiv an der weiteren Ausgestaltung mitzuwirken!
