Boralex has commissioned the 12MW Bazougeais wind farm in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region of France.
Bazougeais has a 20-year contract for difference and features four Vestas V117 3MW turbines.
It is estimated to generate 30 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year, equivalent to the power consumed by around 10,000 French households.
The project also meets the objectives of the Brittany region within the framework of the Pacte Electrique Breton, which has a goal to provide a sustainable response to the challenges facing the region in securing a supply of electricity.
Boralex general manager Europe Nicolas Wolff said: “We are very happy to see the wind farm come to life.
“In addition to serving the general interest of its region, the development of the Bazougeais wind farm was based on consultations with and supported by the local population and public administration.
“This healthy and collaborative approach is part of our corporate social responsibility.
“It enables us to sustain a good neighbourly relationship in the regions.”
