BayWa r.e. Americas

Sammie McCoy, Real Estate Manager at BayWa r.e., together with WRISE Colorado, recently visited Jack’s Solar Garden, the largest agrivoltaic research site in the USA. The tour began with an introduction to the garden’s history and its founder, Byron Kominek, who transformed his grandfather’s farm into a pioneering agrivoltaic site. As they walked through the garden, they saw crops thriving under the solar panels, benefiting from the shade and reduced water usage, while also supporting pollinator habitats. Jack’s Solar Garden is a national model for agrivoltaics, showcasing how renewable energy and agriculture can work hand-in-hand to maximize land use. #WeEffectChange #Agrivoltaics #Sustainability #Agriculture 

As summer comes to an end, we take this moment to celebrate and express our gratitude to Chris Law and Rohit Kulkarni, our 2024 MBA interns. Chris, in our Commercial Department, led the analysis of major industry trends for the company's commercial strategy, while Rohit played a crucial role in product enablement for the Americas Region. Their dedication and contributions have been invaluable. As they continue their studies, we wish them the very best in their academic and professional pursuits.  #WeEffectChange #Intern #MBA  

With more than 70% of our transmission lines aging and reliability concerns growing, the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 has never been more necessary. This legislation aims to reform the permitting process, allowing for quicker upgrades to our grid infrastructure and more renewable energy projects to be brought online. By simplifying bureaucratic procedures and easing the permitting process, more electricity from renewable sources can be transmitted on an even more resilient and stable grid. Modernizing our grid is essential— not just to keep our lights on, but to also ensure we can meet the constantly growing demand for electricity. 💡 #WeEffectChange #GridReliability #ClimateChange #EnergyPermittingReformAct

In the south of Texas, our team visited one of our solar farms to learn more about agrivoltaics.  🐑 While the area surrounding this solar farm is mostly woody plants, the solar farm is covered in native grasses, which makes it the perfect environment for sheep to graze in.  ☀️ Combining solar farms with agricultural activities does not only benefit the communities, but also provides shade and shelter for the sheep, while improving soil health and enhancing overall land use.  At BayWa r.e., we believe that sustainable land management and renewable energy drive each other forward. As agrivoltaics is gaining traction on a global scale, we strive to collaborate with our communities and local partners to benefit them and the energy sector. #WeEffectChange #Agrivotaics #SolarGrazing #Sheep
