Wind energy is produced from the wind force, thanks to a wind turbine, which transforms the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy. Connected to a generator, it 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).Depending on its height, a wind turbine may be subject to a building permit (for wind turbines over 12 m high), an impact assessment (for wind turbines over 50 m high) or a notice (for wind turbines less than 50 m high).
Since the law on a national commitment on the environment known as “Grenelle II”, a minimum distance threshold between future wind turbine installations and dwellings has been introduced.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.
The installation of wind turbines is no longer subject to construction permits but only to the authorisation scheme for installations classified for the protection of the environment (ICPE).
