The Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture has launched a €10 million call to select innovative photovoltaic projects built in combination with agricultural activities.

The ministry said that the selected developers may secure funds to cover up to 70% of a project's upfront costs and that it will give priority to vulnerable territories and disadvantaged mountainous areas. Rebates will range from €700 euros to €35,000.

The Minister of Agriculture, Maria do Céu Antunes, said the call is aimed at making the sector more sustainable, more innovative,  and more profitable.
