Following the acquisition of this new 9 MW-capacity wind farm, Terravent now owns five wind parks in France representing a total capacity of almost 80 MW.

They work together to purchase and hold renewable energy production projects located in Europe. Shareholders invest with a long-term outlook in onshore wind energy production in particular.
