DN AGRAR is implementing a large-scale solar energy project aimed at increasing energy efficiency across its farms and significantly reducing electricity costs. By integrating photovoltaic systems and energy storage solutions into its operations, the company is strengthening its commitment to sustainable agriculture while improving operational efficiency.
In 2025, DN AGRAR invested approximately EUR 7.5 million in solar panel installations across several farms within the Group. The project includes the installation of photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 2,218 kW, together with battery-based energy storage systems, enabling the farms to produce and manage a significant share of their own electricity needs.
