Gravières Wind Farm repowering, France
Name of the Project
Gravières Wind Farm repowering.
Location
The project is located in the Drôme, France.
Project Owner/s
Alpiq Holding.
Project Description
The six-turbine Gravières Wind Farm was commissioned in 2006. The project will extend the farm’s life by 30 years.
The aim is to replace all the turbines and increase the facility’s yearly production of renewable energy by an estimated 30% without changing the current location or number of turbines.
The wind farm’s capacity will increase from 25 000 MWh to about 32 000 MWh. The installed capacity will also be increased by about 30% to 13.8 MW, owing to the installation of the latest-generation turbines and the use of longer blades, which will reach 36 m.
After repowering, the wind farm will avoid the emission of 15 000 t/y of carbon dioxide, compared with the current 11 500 t/y.
