Overview
Oinville-Saint-Liphard is an operational onshore wind farm in France with a capacity of 20.8 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Oinville-Saint-Liphard is an onshore wind farm located in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. With a capacity of 20.8 MW, it is a medium-scale facility that supports France's transition to renewable energy. The wind farm is operational and plays a role in the local energy mix. The facility operates under France's national regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Onshore wind is a key technology in France's renewable portfolio, supported by feed-in tariffs and grid connection guarantees. The 20.8 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale for French onshore wind farms. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in an agricultural region minimizes land-use conflicts, though typical wind farm considerations include visual impact and bird/bat interactions. The facility supports local energy independence and grid stability.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the agricultural landscape of Centre-Val de Loire, a region with moderate wind resources. Onshore wind farms in this area typically have low visual impact due to flat terrain, but may affect local bird and bat populations. The facility's operation displaces carbon-intensive energy, contributing to France's climate goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
