Amance
The key points
- Location: Amance, Haute Saône
- SAU of the farm: 850ha
- Project size: 3ha + 2ha sample
- Agricultural production: Field crops in conservation agriculture (Soybeans, wheat, winter barley, rapeseed, etc.)
It was very important to us to maintain agricultural production, which is our core business, while being able to produce electricity in the heart of communities. We found the TSE agricultural canopy to be the most flexible and the most open [solution]: all our equipment can fit under the 5m high structure.
