The farmers' cooperative Oxyane has reached an agreement with Terre et Lac to encourage farmers to install solar panels on the roofs of their sheds. Hence the creation of Oxyane Solaire.

Farmers account for 20% of the production of renewable energy in France (Ademe 2018 studies), and around 13% of the territory's solar energy production.
