Q ENERGY sets up in New Aquitaine

Q ENERGY France is establishing itself in New Aquitaine with the commissioning of its first wind farm in the region.

Please share:

Q ENERGY France, a specialist in the development and construction of wind energy projects, is setting up in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The company announces the commissioning of Berceronne, its first wind farm developed and built in western France.

Q Energy France supported by local elected officials

The company inaugurated its new wind farm in Jazeneuil, in the Vienne department. With local elected officials and Octopus Renewables, its wind farm manager, present, the project is showing some support.

However, the construction of the wind farm, initiated in 2021, has not always been unanimous among the inhabitants. Since then, Q ENERGY France has conducted several days of consultation and communication with local authorities in New Aquitaine. A series of 4 information days, exhibitions and meetings in town halls were organized.

The wind farm intends to boost the local economy while preserving biodiversity through the implementation of environmental measures. Initiatives such as the management of more than 12 hectares of crops favorable to lowland birds or the planting of 685 linear meters of hedge, supported by local elected officials.

A strong local commitment

In addition, several additional projects will be launched in the region. In fact, the commissioning of the Cerisou wind farm 40 km from Berceronne seems imminent. In addition, the company has started the construction of two new wind farms in the same department.

This growing presence of Q ENERGY France in New Aquitaine shows a real desire to establish itself in the regions. Its portfolio of projects built and under construction in the region already amounts to 57 MW.

For Francisco Varela, Director of Development for Q ENERGY France, these projects will help accelerate the region’s energy transition:

“Our projects built or under construction in this region will ultimately provide clean electricity to more than 75,400 people, nearly 85% of the population of Poitiers, and come at a time when the power grid most needs cheaper green energy.”

The Berceronne wind turbines, with a unit capacity of 3 MW, will produce clean energy to cover the needs of 12,300 inhabitants.
