The prefecture has just made a decision. In a prefectural decree dated November 19, the new prefect, Paul Mourier, indicates that he refused the request for environmental authorization, presented by the company CEPE “Grands communaux”, a 100% subsidiary of Q Energy France. This company wanted to build a large wind farm with thirteen wind turbines in Antheuil and Saint-Jean-de-Boeuf on the back coast of Dijon and Beaune.
Consumption of 50,000 inhabitants
The project included the construction of thirteen wind turbines measuring 180 meters at the tip of the blade with a unit power of 4.2MW (megawatt), or the consumption of 50,000 inhabitants. One of the specificities of this project is that it was located in a forest environment and its implementation required the deforestation of 9.96 hectares. Of the thirteen wind turbines planned, twelve would have been installed in the municipal forests of Saint-Jean-de-Bœuf and Antheuil, the thirteenth in a forest belonging to the Forestier Liot et Daviot group. It remains to be seen whether the promoter will challenge the decision in court or not.
