Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Built or planned wind turbines whose construction permit was granted by the Prefect of Cantal under the wind licence

Wind energy is produced from the wind force, thanks to a wind turbine, which transforms the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy. The wind turbine, or wind turbine, consists of a mast on which is attached a propeller that turns the wind. Onshore wind is distinguished from offshore wind — or offshore wind (having more frequent, stronger and more regular winds than on land). This table contains only those turbines whose construction permit has been granted. Since the “Grenelle II” National Environmental Commitment Act, a minimum distance threshold has been introduced between future wind turbine installations and homes. In the absence of precision in the building permit, the rules of retreat from public roads or right-of-way and separative limits apply at any point of the wind turbine, at the end of the blade in a horizontal position. In addition, the operation of wind turbines is subject to the authorisation scheme for installations classified for environmental protection (ICPE).
