Namur Agri Energie
Namur
Namur Agri Energie, a subsidiary of Ether Energy, hosts Belgium's first agrivoltaic project in Wallonia. Spanning 13 hectares and operational since September 2023, it enhances biodiversity with sheep grazing and thriving bees, designed to harmoniously integrate sustainable farming with renewable energy production. Located near a motorway and visually screened, the panels are spaced five metres apart to balance farming and energy generation. The project is a collaboration with two local farmers and a beekeeper.
Equipped with 15,000 high-efficiency photovoltaic panels, the facility produces 10 MWp of green, renewable energy—sufficient to power approximately 3,000 households annually, contributing significantly to the local clean energy supply.
Agrivoltaics is about putting solar energy to work for the land : a harmonious blend of agriculture and photovoltaic systems, where the agricultural project remains at the heart and is improved by the integration. To fast-track the energy transition, tackle climate change, and secure our independence, we urgently need to scale up renewable energy. And Agrivoltaics offers a promising solution
Alex Houtart, Partner at Ether Energy
Ether Energy is a dynamic Belgian company specializing in the development of large-scale eco-friendly photovoltaic and agrivoltaic solutions across Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. Driven by the urgency of climate change, the company is committed to reducing the planet's carbon footprint through innovative solar solutions. As an independent power producer (IPP), Ether Energy not only invests in but also owns and operates solar energy projects, positioning itself as a major force in the energy transition. Our expertise is agrivoltaics - we combine solar energy production with agricultural activities on the same land. This dual land-use approach allows us to generate renewable energy while simultaneously protecting and enhancing farmland. With an ambitious goal of installing 1 GWp by 2030, Ether Energy continues to lead in the development of sustainable solar solutions, playing a critical role in the transition to a greener future.
