Commissioning of the French Energiequelle wind farm Saint-Morand

The French Energiequelle subsidiary P&T Technologie has commissioned the Saint-Morand wind farm in the municipalities of Martigné-Ferchaud and Éancé. The wind farm is located in the northwest of France in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine on the territory of the Roche aux Fées Communauté. This region has set itself the goal of achieving a positive energy balance by 2050. P&T Technologie has been contributing to this goal since 2011 when it commissioned the first wind farm, Les Douves des Épinettes. The four new Enercon E-103 wind turbines have a height of 160 m and an output of 2.35 MW each. They will increase the green electricity generated in the region to 25,000,000 kWh per year.

Matthieu Le Drévo, Technical Director at P&T, is pleased with the successful commissioning and partnership with the Roche aux Fées Communauté: “With this project, we are increasing our commitment in the region, which is further strengthened by our cooperation with FEEOLE since 2012 within the framework of the Énergie des Fées citizens’ project. The relationship that has been built up here is a win-win situation for everyone involved.”

The official inauguration of the Saint-Morand wind farm is planned for September – an important milestone for P&T, which Ronald Bach (Senior Project Manager at Energiequelle) would also like to celebrate in a fitting manner: “After ten years, we were able to achieve this significant project completion in close cooperation with our French team colleagues. We are very proud of that.”

The Saint-Morand wind farm will be managed internally and is P&T’s 27th wind farm in France. It will increase the total installed capacity there to a total of 280 MW.
