A favorable area

The prefect considers that this project five wind turbines 150 meters high at the end of the blade, three in Essarts-le-Vicomte and two in La Forestière, and two delivery stations, one in each commune, is located in an area favorable to wind power development.

Local unconformities

The public investigator's file highlights some local unconformities on this project: “As I was able to notice from the investigation file, certain parts had not been updated following the change in size of the wind turbines. Which could lead to confusion or discredit the project leader. I can only subscribe to the public's request for up-to-date cartographic documents, particularly for the presence of wind farms located around the project. The public althe feeling that we want to hide something from him by providing him with outdated documents that do not reflect the reality he encounters every day. »

On the municipal side, if municipal councils de La Forestière, Courgivaux, Saudoy and Saint-Bon spoke out “for” this industrial project, on the other hand, that of Essarts le Vicomte, Châtillon-sur-Morin, Escardes, Esternay, Barbonne -Fayel, from -Denis-Nuisy, from Montgenost, from Nesle-la-Reposte, from La Noue or even from Louan-Villegruis-Fontaine, spoke out “against”.

Likewise, the community of communes of Sézanne south-west Marne – 62 communes and 22,000 inhabitants of the former communities of communes of Portes de Champagne, Coteaux Champenois and Pays d’Anglure – issued an unfavorable opinion on December 12, 2022.
