VALEMO operates the wind farm with the largest blades in France!

Last June, VALEMO took over operation of the first citizen-owned wind farm in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region to feature the largest blades in France.

The Andilly-Les-Marais wind farm (PEAM), launched in 2017 by the municipality and supported by the ANE!rs17 association and the CdC Aunis Atlantique, is an innovative citizen project co-developed by the citizen company COOPEC, VALOREM, a renewable energy specialist, and TERRA ENERGIES, the regional fund. This initiative is part of a drive to reclaim energy for citizens, and supports the TEPOS objective of energy autonomy by 2050.

This cooperative project mobilizes almost 380 members who have actively participated in its development, by investing part of their savings. Featuring 3 wind turbines with a blade tip height of 200 meters, the wind farm will generate nearly 48.5 GWh per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 10,6000 households.
The PEAM is a symbol of local energy transition, and has been awarded the “Energie Partagée” label for its citizen-based model.
