Parc du Rio 1 [Beaulencourt]

Commissioned in April 2020, the Rio 1 wind farm in Beaulencourt operates 10.5 MW of Nordex turbine capacity, showcasing Virya Energy’s (ex-Eurowatt) expertise in deploying diverse turbine technologies across its portfolio. The Nordex turbines installed here are specifically engineered for medium-wind sites, making them ideally suited to the local wind regime. The site benefits from the Somme department’s characteristic open agricultural landscape, which provides excellent wind exposure with minimal turbulence. Virya Energy implemented comprehensive grid connection solutions that ensure seamless integration of renewable power into the local distribution network. The project’s success in Beaulencourt demonstrates the technical and economic viability of wind energy in this region, encouraging further renewable energy development.
