Offshore wind turbines off Saint-Nazaire: “Of course the visual pollution is very real”

“I would like to hold the one who presented the images to us at the beginning of the project. Wind turbines must have been matches on the horizon. There, I can tell you that we can see them very well…” complains Thomas, a seasoned professional sailor. You can see the 180 m high masts from Le Croisic, Noirmoutier or Belle-Île… Some sixty wind turbines have already been installed. At the end of the construction of the park, by the end of the year, there will be 80 of them. Enough to produce the equivalent of 20% of the electricity consumption of the Loire-Atlantique department.
