About the Saint-Aubert Wind Farm

The Saint-Aubert wind farm is located in the municipality of Walinourt-Selvigny, in the Hancourt-en-Cambrésis area (59). Commissioned in January 2024, it consists of six turbines with a total installed capacity of 20.8 MW.

This site generates the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of approximately 23,800 residents. Thanks to this installation, nearly 2,300 tonnes of CO₂ emissions are avoided each year. This project is fully aligned with Boralex’s strategy to accelerate the energy transition across the region.

Génération Transition 2026 Bois Saint Aubert

Students Explore the Bois Saint-Aubert Wind Farm

As part of the “Génération Transition” program, organized by France Renouvelables, students were welcomed to the Bois Saint-Aubert wind farm to gain hands-on insight into how a renewable electricity generation site operates.

An Immersion into the World of Wind Energy

During their visit, the students gained a better understanding of the role of wind energy in the energy transition, as well as the various stages of electricity production. This interactive session also gave them the opportunity to ask questions of the staff on site and deepen their knowledge of renewable energy.

Raising Awareness Among Future Generations

Through Génération Transition, young people are invited to explore the careers, technologies, and issues related to the energy transition. These events foster a better understanding of renewable energy and help raise awareness among tomorrow’s citizens about energy and climate challenges.
