Akuo receives the first agrivoltaics project in Portugal

Akuo, a producer and developer of renewable energy, has received an agrivoltaic pilot project award from the National Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The project, funded by the Portuguese Agricultural Innovation Programme, is supported by the NextGenerationEU Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). Ten entities, including INIAV (National Institute of Agricultural and Veterinary Research), an educational institution, a producer association and various public and private entities from the agricultural sector, are working together to add value to the project.

Akuo, together with its exclusive partner and agricultural research office, Agriterra, will lead the design, implementation and monitoring of agrivoltaic solutions tailored to the Fuji apple tree species. Akuo is committed to implementing various pilot models to determine the most efficient solution for commercial replication.
