Overview
Agenville is an operational onshore wind farm in France with a capacity of 6 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy mix under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Agenville is an onshore wind farm located in the Hauts-de-France region of France. With a capacity of 6 MW, it is a small-scale facility that supports France's transition to renewable energy. The wind farm is operational and utilizes wind power to generate electricity. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. France has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection policies to support wind energy development. The 6 MW capacity places Agenville in the small-scale category for onshore wind farms. Agenville contributes to local energy generation and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms like Agenville play a role in diversifying France's energy mix and meeting EU climate goals. The facility's location in a rural area minimizes land-use conflicts while providing clean energy to the grid.
Environmental context
The Hauts-de-France region has favorable wind conditions for onshore wind energy. Wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations, but proper siting and mitigation measures help reduce these effects. The facility's small scale limits visual and land-use impacts compared to larger installations.
