The second call for projects for Agri-PV projects benefiting from a 15-year market premium contract for the injection of electricity produced for the construction and operation of agri-photovoltaic solar power plants in Luxembourg is open until 1 September 2025.
The aim is for these ‘agri-PV’ power plants to deliver threefold benefits in terms of renewable electricity production, agricultural production, biodiversity and nature protection.
The call for tenders is divided into three lots:

- Category 2: Grassland used for livestock farming (including poultry farming).
- Category 3: Arable land for all crops (including special crops).
- Lot 2: Photovoltaic canopies (power > 100 kWp and ≤ 5 MWp)
- Category 4: Special crops.
- Lot 3: Ground-mounted power plants (output > 100 kWp and ≤ 5 MWp)
