Champsoleil Énergies raises €32 million to develop 140 MW of agrivoltaic projects in Occitanie

The Toulouse-based company has closed a Series B led by two regional infrastructure funds and an agricultural cooperative from Gers. The funds will finance eleven projects due to come online between 2027 and 2029.

Toulouse, 9 October 2026. Champsoleil Énergies, an agrivoltaic power plant developer founded in 2019, has announced a €32 million fundraising round. The round is led by Occitanie Infra and Sud Transition, with participation from the Terres du Gers cooperative, which will provide some of the land.

The funds will be used to build eleven power plants with a combined capacity of 140 megawatts and hire 25 people by the end of 2027.

“This fundraising round allows us to move from a pilot project to industrial scale without taking land away from agriculture,” explains Claire Martin, CEO of Champsoleil Énergies.

Frequently asked questions

Why announce your fundraising round on Clarsource rather than just on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn reaches your network. On Clarsource, your fundraising round is added to a database consulted by journalists, investors and analysts, with structured figures that databases can reproduce accurately.

When should you announce a fundraising round?

Once the funds have been received or the closing has been signed. An embargo lets you prepare the announcement in advance and publish it at the time agreed with your investors.

Do you need to disclose the amount?

It is not compulsory, but announcements that do not include an amount are less likely to be picked up. If you publish it, it will appear as a figure declared by the issuer.

Can you publish in English?

Yes. Choose English as an additional publication language. The first translation is free, and you can review it before publication.

How can you coordinate an announcement with a media outlet?

With the Pro plan's embargo, the announcement remains invisible until the chosen time. You can share it in advance with the journalists of your choice.

How much does it cost to announce a fundraising round?

Publication is free. The Pro plan includes an embargo and detailed statistics.
