RWE has inaugurated its 44MW Nouvions onshore wind in the Aisne department of Hauts-de-France (France), located in the municipalities of Nouvion-et-Catillon and Nouvion-le-Comte.
The project is the company’s most powerful operational onshore wind farm in the country and was developed in close collaboration with local residents and stakeholders. The site was commissioned in February 2024.
The array features 11 turbines, each with a capacity of 4MW and will meet the annual electricity needs of around 19,000 households. The N149 hardware, produced by Nordex and standing at a height of 179.5 metres, are the first of their kind to be installed in France.
“The inauguration of the Nouvions wind farm reflects RWEs’ commitment in France to continue developing the green portfolio acquired in 2020, while accelerating the deployment of new solar and wind projects throughout the country,” said RWE Renewables Europe & Australia chief executive Katja Wünschel.
“The Nouvions wind farm, RWE’s most powerful onshore wind farm in operation in France, is the result of a successful collaboration with our local partners, and a future extension is already in the pipeline.
“As a mission-driven company, our priority remains to lead an energy transition that benefits everyone while maximizing advantages for local residents.”
