EAGER: Study Visit in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria

Date: 16-17 September 2026
Location: Hotel Hebar, Pazardzhik (6 Esperanto St., 4400, Pazardzhik, Bulgaria)
Format: Hybrid (In-Person with Online available)

A Study Visit within the frame of the EAGER project: “Easing AGrophotovoltaics for EuRope” will be organised on the 16th and 17th of September 2026, in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria.

The two-day event will include presentations by various regional stakeholders from different organisations, as well as site visits that showcase examples of good practices for APV in Bulgaria.

Agro-photovoltaic (APV) system presents a solution to the pressing need for increased solar energy capacity while resolving competition over land use. With the EU aiming for significant renewable energy expansion, APV can bridge land optimisation difficulties by combining solar energy production with crop cultivation, therefore producing energy and food at the same time, while offering investment opportunities for partners in this area and fostering collaboration with local communities in their transition to renewable energy.

The EAGER project facilitates the adoption of APV across partner regions. By fostering a shared understanding of this technology, identifying best practices, and enhancing policy instruments, this project is paving the way for a greener future.
