(\"Boralex\" or the \"Company\") (TSX: BLX) is pleased to announce the commissioning of the La Grande Borne wind farm, located near the municipalities of Vendeuil and\n \n Remigny\n \n , in the Hauts-de-\n \n France\n \n region of the French department of Aisne. The facility, which consists of four 2.2 MW Vestas V110 wind turbines for a total installed capacity of 8.8 MW, is expected to produce 26 GWh of power per year, meeting the energy needs for 5,600 households.\n \n \n Boralex launched the La Grande Borne wind farm project in 2016 and developed it in a manner consistent with its commitment to protecting species and their habitats. Boralex's teams based in Blendecques will be responsible for day-to-day site operation.\n \n \n \"From the design phase of a project onward, we are committed to protecting biodiversity by reducing the impact of our activities on ecosystems, in line with the principles of the\n \n Avoid – Reduce – Offset\n \n hierarchy. This approach was integral during construction and will continue into the operating phase, allowing our producing assets to contribute to learn and share knowledge throughout their life cycle,\" said\n \n Nicolas Wolff\n \n , Vice President and General Manager, Boralex,\n \n Europe\n \n .\n \n \n One of the measures supporting biodiversity and species protection at the La Grande Borne wind farm is a measure to protect rare birds. This measure aims to raise awareness among the agricultural community about the protection of harrier nests and to implement conservation measures within a 20-kilometer radius of the site. Boralex will assume the responsibility for rigorous environmental follow-up throughout the wind farm's operating life.\n \n \n \n To find out more about Boralex's corporate social responsibility commitments, visit:\n \n https://www.boralex.com/our-...
