Roussas - Gravières
Wind Farm
Gravières wind farm
is part of the Roussas project, which is situated in the Rhône
valley in the commune of Roussas and in the Drôme département
of France.
The project was developed by EOLE-RES and is divided into two wind farms,
Gravières and the adjacent Claves wind farm, each comprising 6
turbines rated at 1.75MW.
Energy is exported via Gravières wind farm's dedicated underground
cable connection (which is approximately 11.6km in length) to Electricité de
France's Châteauneuf poste source substation.
Construction commenced in spring 2005 and was completed
by spring 2006.
The estimated energy to be produced by Gravières wind farm is equivalent
to an annual saving of approximately 12,000 tonnes of CO2.
