Question 14532 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Jean-Paul Dufrègne draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the measures to be taken quickly to avoid the anarchic development of wind power in rural areas and the degradation of certain local landscapes and living environments. Yesterday convinced by the merits of the deployment of renewable energies, populations are today worried by the proliferation of controversial projects is important in many territories. These situations create real tensions, as is the case in the Allier department, and raise several questions both in form and substance. In terms of form, it is inconceivable that citizens would learn through the press that a wind farm project close to their homes has received a favorable opinion in principle to initiate the procedure. This lack of information favors inevitably reactions of rejection and a deleterious climate which leads to confrontation between the inhabitants who until then lived in perfect harmony. Basically, wind power must find its place in a balanced manner in the necessary development of renewable energies. Which is not the case. Today, wind power tends to develop in an anarchic manner, at the whim of certain promoters more inclined to carry out projects financially juicy than worrying about the merits of the location of this or that park or the preservation of landscapes and the quality of life of the inhabitants of a territory. Without a framed global strategy, without non-dispersed development planning under public control, society is condemned to run behind projects which escape all the rules which must prevail in the organization of territories and in the fight against nuisances which directly concern local residents. This is the case, particularly with ever higher wind farm projects for which the current normative framework is no longer suitable. Today, there is no doubt that the distance rules from homes and built or natural heritage are no longer sufficient. The idea of ​​a distance calculated from blade length or height masts seems interesting in this respect. He would like to know the measures that the Government intends to take to review these regulatory distances, to regain control of the development of wind power in France and to bring serenity to the territories.
