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).
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 will be subject to the authorisation scheme for installations classified for environmental protection (ICPE).
