Neoen has entered a 25-year corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) with SNCF Energie for 139 MWp from the Le Couret agrisolar park in Haute-Vienne, France. This will be the largest solar park in France under a PPA with SNCF. The project, set to begin construction in 2026 and be commissioned in 2028, will provide electricity for the Paris-Marseille high-speed line. Developed in collaboration with local officials and the Chamber of Agriculture, the park will combine solar energy production with sheep farming and will include infrastructure to support animal welfare and training for agrivoltaic sheep farming apprentices.
