“While in Lunas, the eagle-killing wind turbines have just been ordered to be demolished, the prefect of Hérault authorizes a new battery of 23 wind turbines. We don’t understand!” The TNE collective, Tous Nos Énergies Occitanie, has decided to file a appeal to the Toulouse Court of Appeala court which examines this type of procedure.
He denounces a new wind turbine project in Cambon and Salvergues, harmful to flying wildlife.
The 23 wind turbines of 99 meters in height must be replaced by 23 other wind turbines of 125 meters. This is called “repowering”.
A procedure which allows the prefect of Hérault to give his authorization without going through a public inquiry if it considers that this project does not constitute a substantial change to the wind farm. What the collective disputes. “OWe were told that with repowering, there would be fewer but more powerful wind turbines. In fact, this is falseprotests Jean Pougnet, co-secretary of the collective, there will be just as many wind turbines and taller ones too! we believe that a public inquiry is necessary“.
The collective is all the more worried because there is another project for five additional wind turbines carried out by the company Volkswind and for which a public inquiry has been launched. “If this keeps upquips Jean Pougnet, in this sector, there will soon be more wind turbines than inhabitants. It’s funny. This poses a real problem for the defense of biodiversity.
The appeal requests the cancellation of the prefectural decree giving authorization to these new wind turbines.
