The French military and national weather service are putting up “major hurdles” to wind parks needed to boost renewable energy output, a lobby group said.
Concerns in the military that turbines interfere with radar and at state forecaster Meteo France that they hinder wind and flood forecasts have blocked an estimated 3,000 megawatts of projects across the country, according to Syndicat des Energies Renouvelables, representing renewable energy companies.
