About

Founded in 2026, Coopérative Monts et Barrages is a co-op headquartered in Le Châtenet-en-Dognon, France with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Solar.

Coopérative Monts et Barrages is a rural cooperative transforming from a pollinization phase into a formal cooperative structure (October 2026). Located in the Millevaches Natural Regional Park region, it operates as a Territorial Pole of Economic Cooperation (PTCE) with shared offices, technical expertise, and a living laboratory on a productive farm. The cooperative coordinates multiple value chains including solar photovoltaic installations, sustainable forestry and wood processing (Manufacture du Châtaignier), eco-habitat renovation, circular economy/reuse (Ressourcerie), artistic creation (Factory 87), and local agriculture. Members include engineers, artisans, farmers, and innovators working to relocate economic activity and expertise on the territory through collective ingénierie and shared resources.
