A site fitted to its surroundings
The wind farm was developed with local environmental and landscape sensitivities in mind. Lanouée Forest, a forestry site that hosts the wind farm, covers almost 4,000 ha. The wind farm occupies 0.3% of that area, 11.4 ha, which will be replanted with deciduous species covering an area of 12.25 ha. Project construction was adapted and carried out in line with an environmental strategy aimed at maintaining the forest’s biological functions, respecting its multiple uses, and implementing measures that add value to the forest ecosystem. The same strategy will continue to apply throughout the wind farm’s operating phase.
