DLG Spotlight DLG Solar Initiative + Energy from the Farm

With the "DLG Solar Initiative" and its focus on "energy from farms," agriculture will place even greater emphasis on its own land and facilities in the energy transition in 2026. The new spotlight shows how farms are becoming regional energy suppliers today with smart concepts—flexible, economical, and sustainable. The focus is on the major levers: agri-PV, battery storage, and innovative wind and biogas concepts. Particularly exciting: the combination of biogas plants, PV, and storage is increasingly becoming the strategy of choice. Especially at locations with biogas, the existing infrastructure offers ideal conditions—from grid connection and flexible load profiles to the possibility of intelligently buffering and marketing surpluses.

Agri-PV with added value

How agricultural land benefits twice – with harvest and yield.

Battery storage in the field

Legal changes, practical examples, and why storage is particularly economical in combination with biogas plants.

Wind power reimagined

Why old leasing models are reaching their limits and which forms of participation offer farmers real prospects today.

Biogas on the rise

Flexibility, direct gas feed-in, and technical adjustments for greater efficiency.

The spotlight is rounded off by two practical case studies.

Businesses that demonstrate how agriculture is becoming a cornerstone of regional energy supply—with a high degree of self-sufficiency, strong community involvement, and sustainable business models.
