Paysage-Libre Vaud has opposed requests for building permits relating to the construction of 12 wind turbines in the Mollendruz park, on the crests of the Vaudois Jura. The organization believes that the investigation takes “considerable liberties”.
The allocation procedure was validated last October by the Federal Court (TF), paving the way for the wind turbines to be investigated. It is against this new stage that Paysage-Libre Vaud filed a new series of oppositions, she announced Monday.

For the association, the project under investigation “deviates significantly” from the Partial Allocation Plan (PPA). Temporary rights-of-way and clearings have “considerably increased” and the chapter on the preservation of species and biodiversity suffers from “significant gaps”. Paysage-Libre Vaud also emphasizes that the choice of machines “is not final”, although it determines important parameters.
Renewable electricity
The wind farm project is carried out by Énergie Naturelle Mollendruz (ENM), a company controlled by Zurich Industrial Services, the municipalities of Juriens, La Praz, Vaulion, Mont-la-Ville and Yverdon-les-Bains. ENM wishes to build twelve wind turbines on the crests of the Jura, between the Mollendruz pass and the Chalet Devant pasture.
The park should generate between 100 and 112 GWh of renewable electricity annually, which corresponds to the annual consumption of around 33,000 households. The work is planned from 2025, for commissioning by 2027.
