Ensemble Éolien Catalan
A powerful – and discreet – onshore wind farm
The wind turbines at the Ensemble Éolien Catalan are fitted with stealth blades, a technical innovation spearheaded in partnership with the wind turbine manufacturer that prevents them from interfering with the Météo France radar located nearby.
Our commitments
Recycling and wind turbine waste
Around 90% of a wind turbine is recyclable and its various components are handled by recovery networks.
Wind farms and biodiversity
EDF is committed to protecting the environment by conducting environmental studies of wildlife and plant life. The Group governs subcontractors’ activities by including environmental clauses in the contracts and control systems of service providers, as well as by performing regular environmental and/or ecological monitoring.
