Wind study

What approach to adopt?

A wind mast is used to study wind conditions on the site (speed, direction, temperature) and compare them with long-term statistics based on Météo France and satellite data. All this data enables Voltalia to define the turbine model for the future wind farm and refine production details.

The wind mast is also used to install devices recording the activity of high-flying bats. These elements enrich the environmental study.
