Parc de Wancourt

The Wancourt wind farm, operational since December 2017, features 2 MW of Vestas turbine capacity in the Pas-de-Calais department. Developed by Virya Energy (ex-Eurowatt), this compact installation demonstrates that renewable energy projects can be successfully implemented at various scales, tailored to specific site characteristics and local grid requirements. Despite its smaller capacity, the project delivers significant environmental benefits by displacing fossil fuel-generated electricity and contributing to France’s renewable energy targets. The Vestas turbine selected for this site offers excellent efficiency even in a single-unit configuration, with advanced controls that optimize performance across varying wind conditions. Virya Energy’s ability to develop projects ranging from small-scale installations like Wancourt to large multi-turbine complexes showcases the company’s technical versatility and adaptive approach to renewable energy development across diverse contexts.
