Ventis and Engie commissioned a new wind farm in Belgium

Ventis and ENGIE have commissioned the second phase of the Quévy Wind Farm in Mons, Hainaut, Belgium, adding 25 MW of capacity to the existing 18 MW from Phase 1, bringing the total to 43 MW.

The eight-turbine wind farm at Gouy-Lez-Piéton in Courcelles has an installed capacity of almost 29 MW. The plant will produce an average of 51 GWh annually, equivalent to the consumption of nearly 14,500 households, and will avoid 20,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. The eight wind turbines each have a capacity of 3.6 MW. The new wind farm is the result of a partnership between Ventis, which owns six of the turbines, and Engie, which owns two.
