EDF EN commissions three new wind farms in Languedoc-Roussillon

Continuing its development in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, EDF Energies Nouvelles announces the commissioning of three wind farms, with a total power of 34.7 MW.
In this region with favorable natural conditions, the group operates nearly 30% of its national wind assets.

Two new parks are located in the Aude department.

The Conilhac wind farm, with an installed capacity of 9.2 MW, is made up of four Enercon wind turbines of 2.3 MW each.

Extension of the Luc-sur-Orbieu wind farm (12 MW) built and operated by EDF Energies Nouvelles since 2007, the Plaine de l'Orbieu wind farm has an installed capacity of 11.5 MW with five Enercon wind turbines of 2. 3MW.

Located in the town of Aumelas in the Hérault department, the Vallée de l'Hérault wind farm is made up of seven 2 MW Vestas wind turbines for a total installed capacity of 14 MW. This park corresponds to an extension of the Aumelas 1 and 2 wind farms with a cumulative installed capacity of 48 MW, built in 2005 and 2009 and then operated by the group.

The annual production of the three new wind farms generates the equivalent of the electricity consumption of around 43,000 inhabitants.

In terms of wind energy, as of June 30, 2014, EDF Énergies Nouvelles operated in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, 235 MW out of 853 MW of capacity installed in France by the group, or nearly 30% of its national wind energy activity. .
