<p><b>Enel Green Power</b> (EGP) is the leader in the <b>renewable energy </b>sector and operates in Europe, Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa. Thanks to innovative energy technologies, EGP produces power from solar and other renewable energy sources. EGP is committed to contributing to sustainable development and in this context, EGP is interested in finding <b>innovative ideas for mitigating the environmental impact of large photovoltaic (PV) plants while maximizing the benefits for local communities</b>.</p><p> </p><p>This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.</p><p> </p><p><b>OVERVIEW</b></p><p> </p><p>Solar power is a renewable, alternative energy source that can be harnessed every day in all weather conditions; the number of operational PV power plants has grown rapidly worldwide. While the amount of power generated can exceed a gigawatt, PV plants require large tracts of land for panel installation resulting in ecological changes and other environmental issues such as desertification due to the presence of solar panels, concurrent use with respect to agriculture, reduction of flora and fauna, water contamination, water use for panel cleaning, etc.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, EGP is primarily interested in finding actions to mitigate the concurrent use of the land and that can generate a positive impact associated with a LARGE PV PLANT. These can be implemented in new and existing PV plants. Attention will also be given to proposals maximizing social benefits for local communities. The ultimate goal is to find disruptive ideas that can be developed on a global scale for a true epochal change in this energy sector.</p><p> </p><p>This Challenge provides contribution to the following Sustainable Development Goals:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy</b></li><li><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth</b></li><li><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">SDG 15: Life on land</b> </li></ul><p><br></p><p><i>- Register now to start solving this Challenge!
