Solar energy projects offer significant economic benefits, driving growth and competitiveness. Large-scale solar farms provide cost-effective and secure electricity, delivering economies of scale from planning to operation. This reduces power costs, making electrification more competitive and opening new market opportunities. 📈 ☀️ In Australia, Lightsource bp’s Wellington solar hub demonstrates how scalable solar projects can deliver substantial home-grown energy resources. Our 560MW Enipeas project in Greece, the largest we have ever developed, highlights the economic advantages of solar energy. This project, which reached financial close in April 2024, will contribute to energy security, create direct employment during construction, and enhance Greece’s attractiveness as an investment destination in an electrifying world. The growing demand for renewable energy positions solar power as a major economic driver, with Lightsource bp at the forefront of this transformative energy landscape. ⚡🤝 Learn how we can deliver electricity and opportunity in equal measure: https://lnkd.in/guGcmgc5 #Lightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #Growth #Electrification #WeAreLightsourcebp

It was a pleasure speaking with the HEC Paris Business School students, for their Diversidrive tour, about our global DEI policies and our VIBES initiatives. The research they are doing is great to advance DEI in the workplace and we are proud to support it.

In this video, see firsthand how solar is helping revive the American sheep industry, as American farm families are supported through #solar sheep grazing. 🌱🐑 Solar grazing provides business growth opportunities and access to land for local farm families, serving as an added, steady revenue stream in addition to raising sheep for lamb and wool. Solar grazing also enhances the environment. Rotational grazing keeps #biodiversity in balance as sheep "mow” the land under and around solar panels, leaving behind their waste, adding nutrient-rich organic matter back into the soil. As the sheep graze, invasive weeds are eaten away, making room for more beneficial, native plants. 🌿 By integrating sustainable practices with solar energy, we are making way for a brighter future for communities and for the planet. 🌎 #SolarGrazing #Agrivoltaics #Agriculture #ResponsibleSolar #Biodiversity #Sustainability #EmpoweringCommunities #CleanEnergy

“It’s just a huge, huge opportunity and it’s going to drastically change the economics of our farm.” 🌿 Solar provides new opportunities for local farming families to add and diversify their revenue stream. ☀️ At our Honeysuckle Solar farm in Indiana, we are forming partnerships to incorporate sheep grazing as a #sustainable approach to vegetation management and agriculture integration. 🌱🐑 Our #solar grazing partner, Greg Gunthrop, shares more on the benefits of solar grazing in the video below. ⬇️ To learn more about Honeysuckle Solar visit: https://lnkd.in/gYMvFmZu #Agrivoltaics #ResponsibleSolar #HoneysuckleSolar #EmpoweringCommunities #IndianaSolar

Lightsource bp’s teams have been on the road throughout Q2 participating in number of opportunities to share our knowledge, engage with local stakeholders and celebrate some of our own milestones along the way too. 🎓 🎊 We participated in significant events like the Agrivoltaics World Conference in Denver, where Lexie Hain, Director of Agrivoltaics and Land Management for Lightsource bp in the US sat on the conference’s scientific committee. We also hosted a technical workshop in Madrid with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy, focusing on integrating agriculture with solar operations. 🚜 🌞 Additionally, we continued our sponsorship of the Badminton Horse Trials in the UK, highlighting our commitment to rural economies. We celebrated the opening of our new office in Warsaw and partnered with the British Embassy in the Netherlands to mark King Charles III's birthday. 🐴🏢👑 Learn more about our exciting activities and milestones here: https://lnkd.in/e7X6Tn-W #WeAreLightsourcebp #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Agrivoltaics

2023 was a record-breaking year for corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) from #solar and wind projects and momentum continuing to build. 🔌🏭 Zosia Riesner, Lightsource bp’s Director of Power Markets for Europe, recently appeared as the guest on the Interconnections podcast, produced by the #renewableenergy project data and intelligence service NPM Europe (New Project Media). Zosia discussed the growing demand for corporate buyers with another record year expected in 2024. “The top buyers are often in technology and heavy industry, but we’re seeing more [interest] from less recognisable organisations. These might not be very large global businesses or consumer brands but smaller organisations, universities, the public sector and transportation. There’s a huge range of different types of buyers.” ⚡ Listen to the whole episode to hear Zosia’s full conversation with Peter Kneller: https://lnkd.in/efeExUuM #WeAreLightsourcebp #SolarPower #ThoughtLeadership #PPAs #Electrification

Scaling up rapidly in the energy transition is both a challenge and a privilege for @Lightsourcebp ☀️ Artificial intelligence is playing an important role in supporting that scaling up of the renewable energy industry. 💡 AI is helping Lightsource bp to work smarter and harder. This can mean doing the simple things faster or, in many cases, finding brand new solutions. One example is in the US where AI is used to tilt solar panels to mitigate the risk of hailstorm damage, and another example is in Australia, where AI forecasts short-term solar irradiance and power generation, helping to improve grid stability. 🌎 AI can also be used to identify and assess potential sites for renewable energy projects by analysing various factors such as land availability, resource potential, environmental impact, grid connection and economic viability.
