The sea is largely still unexploited territory for the installation of windmills. In any case the company Nass & Wind has big plans based on the results of a multi-party debate about the environment in France.
Saturday, it presented its wind farm project to be placed just off the shore of Croisic near Guérande. If passed, sixty to eighty windmills will be constructed and installed by 2014.
Nass & Wind enormously attach importance to the dialogue. She says to have spoken with ten elected officials, the representatives of a score of associations like with professional fishermen. “It is a question of good manners if the mayor did not speak yet about it with his assistants or the Municipal council. And we don’t want anyone to instrumentalise anyone”, explains Xavier Ferrey, communication official of Nass & Wind.
Saturday, GSRB (Grouping of the secondary residents of Baule) savagely opposed to this project which is still in the preliminary phase of the impact studies.
Decision of the chief officer
Rémy Gautron, president of the federation, hoped this meeting would not turn into a debate about the future installation, but a time to form an opinion about the project. “That was the fourth time the federation confronted Nass & Wind. The Cape Atlantique Council of development will soon receive Nass & Wind. The elected officials will be determined by taking account the opinion of their voters”, ensures Rémy Gautron.
Christophe Pirou, deputy of the district, has already voiced his opinion to him and the prefect, Jean Daubigny, at the time of his visit last Saturday. “It is necessary to be pragmatic, the wind is a solution. The West often has energy problems and yet finds a way.”, insists Christophe Priou.
Studies in progress
During the briefing, the questions raised related to the effects on plants and animals, the power of the park and its lifespan, the conditions of its dismantling at the conclusion or in the course of concession.
Nass & Wind began its dialogue six months ago. The studies on the environment began this summer. Their results will move the project forward. But the company already hopes to deposit a request for approval to the prefecture next year.
