About the Calmont Wind Farm
The Calmont wind farm, located in the Occitanie region of France, consists of 7 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 14 MW. The project was commissioned at the end of 2015 and has a 15-year power purchase agreement with Electricité de France (EDF).
- Calmont is located a few kilometers from Boralex’s mixed energy site (solar and wind) in Avignonet-Lauragais, which results in interesting operational synergies.

Boralex’s facilities are located in the heart of local communities, and the company aims to play an active role in these communities by developing lasting relationships with local stakeholders. That is why Boralex funds philanthropic and sponsorship initiatives near its wind farms.
