At IOTA Energy, we envision a world where agriculture seamlessly integrates with renewable energy, creating a harmonious ecosystem that benefits both farmers and the planet. Our mission is to revolutionize traditional farming practices by providing cutting-edge Agri PV solutions that optimize resource utilization, increase productivity, and reduce environmental impact.
By harnessing Agri PV, future generations can achieve greater energy independence, mitigating the impact of fluctuating energy costs. Agri PV systems generate clean and renewable energy, significantly reducing dependence on traditional energy sources that contribute to carbon emissions.
Agri PV projects can be designed to coexist with local ecosystems, promoting biodiversity and minimizing the impact on wildlife habitats. Agri PV optimizes land use by integrating solar panels into agricultural spaces. This dual-use approach ensures efficient utilization of available resources. The solar panels provide shade to crops, reducing water evaporation and promoting water conservation — a crucial factor in regions facing water scarcity.
Jonas Benholz has more than ten years experience in the renewable energy sector and deep-rooted passion for sustainability. He worked in various leadership roles in investment companies, IPPs and within a bank. Over those years he realised projects with an enterprise value of EUR 800m, created a development pipeline of more than 1 GW and financed projects for an overall amount of multiple billion EUR. With a background in various parts of the renewable energy value chain, Jonas brings a unique blend of expertise to the table, driving IOTA towards excellence and innovation. His innovative leadership has not only positioned IOTA as a key player in the Agri PV sector but has also contributed to the advancement of sustainable practices within agriculture.
Blue Elephant Energy is among the largest Independent Power Producers in Europe. It has a production capacity of close to 2 GW of solar and wind assets and further 3-5 GW as project pipeline.
IOTA follows several projects in Italy which range from smaller projects to utility scale projects and therefore makes significant impact on agricultural companies, fostering resilience, sustainability, and energy independence. By marrying agriculture with renewable energy, we're not only enhancing productivity but also contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future. Stay tuned for updates on our ongoing projects and explore opportunities to collaborate with us in cultivating innovation that benefits farmers and the planet alike.
