Spain: Lightsource bp partners with scientists from the Biological Station of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) to conduct research on the habitat of the Lesser Kestrel in Andalusia and analyse its interaction with other activities on the same land, such as solar farms.  ☀️⚡ The study was launched this spring in the rural areas around Seville. It will enable the monitoring of the movement patterns of these small steppe birds, by tagging nine individuals with a GPS device to understand how they can coexist with solar and land management practices This initiative underlines our contributions at Lightsource bp to support scientific initiatives on local biodiversity and the environment. 🌍 Read more here:  https://lnkd.in/enBFrVBr  #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #ResponsibleSolar #Biodiversity #CSIC #Lightsourcebp 

We’re excited to celebrate #WorldBeeDay 🐝    Lightsource bp passionately believes that renewable energy and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. One of the ways we demonstrate this commitment is through the thoughtful cultivation of pollinator habitats and native vegetation on our solar sites.🪻☀️       Our biodiversity management plans aim to create ideal solutions for pollinators such as bees, butterflies and birds in addition to generating renewable electricity. 🐝     Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eEbZZBxf     #WeAreLightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #Agriculture #Bees #Biodiversity

In the heart of France, Lightsource bp is working with a local cattle farmer on the development of an exciting new form of agrivoltaic project. ☀️🇫🇷     At our 22MW Henroux site near Sancoins, is what will be a first for Lightsource bp that will include cows grazing areas underneath the solar panels. The development of this site will see modules raised to 2.5m to allow cows to graze underneath. 🐄     The Charolais cattle grazing operation, including livestock, pasture management and hay production will continue to function across this site.      As agrivoltaic activity plays a more important role in the deployment of solar projects around the world, Lightsource bp is proud to work with innovative farmers and local communities. 🌎     Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/e7FhZh62    #WeAreLightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #France

Lightsource bp passionately believes that renewable energy and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. One of the ways we demonstrate this commitment is through the thoughtful cultivation of pollinator habitats and native vegetation on our solar sites. 🪻☀️     As spring blossoms in the northern hemisphere, it’s the perfect time to plant as well as to enjoy the fruits of previous years’ labours! 🌸🌼     We collaborate with landlords and other partners to deliver benefits for our agricultural stakeholders, local communities, and nature. One of the ways we do this is by creating a detailed vegetation plan in partnership with local and regional seed suppliers, conservationists, certified crop advisors and agronomists. This helps our solar farms serve as sanctuaries for bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators in addition to generating renewable electricity. 🐝 We are safeguarding essential species and promoting the health and resilience of surrounding ecosystems, as well as helping to support agriculture with the, often essential, pollinator populations required.     Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eNXhHv4k    #WeAreLightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #Agriculture #Spring #Bees

The global demand for electricity is expected to double by 2050. As the world seeks to address climate change and advance the energy transition, demand is changing. We are shifting towards an increasingly electrified future. ⚡️     At Lightsource bp we are focused on working to build enough power capacity to meet both the electricity demand from new emerging sources, and to replace traditional sources that are being phased out.    Here are four reasons for the renewable energy surge:      🚘 Transportation: Rapid shift to electric vehicles globally  🏭 Industrial and manufacturing facilities: Electrification and green hydrogen  👾 Data centres: Consumption and growth doubling by 2026  ☀️ Extreme and changing climate: Rising demand for cooling and heating resources for the population.     Understanding this growth is essential for energy companies and policymakers to plan and to ensure a reliable and more sustainable energy supply. Our global reach and experience enable us to support and deliver on our substantial roster of opportunities in solar and energy storage to help meet the demand for a greener future.     Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gpe4trg5    #WeAreLightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy
