Allain Bougrain-Dubourg and Christophe Sueur, mayor of Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron (Charente-Maritime), have just published a joint text against the offshore wind farm. The South Atlantic offshore wind project – its official name – aims to produce 1 gigawatt (GW) of electricity over an area of 120 km².
The State, which intends to produce 45 GW at sea by 2050, is also talking about the construction of a second offshore park off the coast of Oléron.
