Project Lucy wind farm
A beacon for the energy transition - locally anchored, Europe-wide concept
Wind energy is indispensable for the sustainable and climate-friendly power supply of tomorrow. With the Lucy wind project, we are launching a pioneering onshore project - in close cooperation with municipalities, landowners and the local population. Together, we are making a contribution to the energy transition and promoting regional value creation.
On this page, we will keep you regularly informed about the progress of the project: from site analyses and approval procedures through to construction and commissioning. Stay up to date - we are happy to engage in dialogue!

The project
Iqony Wind France: a sustainable partner for the regional development of wind power
Thanks to the high wind power potential in the department of Aisne and France's political commitment to the energy transition, we began planning the realisation of wind power plants in this region in 2014.
The first wind project, the "Ferme Éolienne des Onze Muids", was successfully realised in the municipalities of Bernot and Hauteville. Other projects were subsequently developed and are currently awaiting the necessary environmental authorisations to be built and commissioned.
Iqony Wind France has been active in the municipalities of the Communautés de Communes du Val de l'Oise and the Thiérache Sambre et Oise for over 10 years.
Milestones of the Lucy wind power project
Planning for the Lucy wind farm began in 2017 with initial discussions with local representatives from the municipality of Ribemont. The official go-ahead for project development was given in 2022 with the positive resolution of the municipal council.
As with all our projects, regular dialogue took place during the study and development phase with the elected representatives of Ribemont, state authorities, environmental experts, landowners and operators of the project area.
Project schedule
Early discussions with local political representatives laid the foundations for the project idea and tested its general acceptance in the region.
An important milestone was reached with the municipality's vote in favour - the project received political backing for further development.
Start of extensive expert reports, including on wind conditions, noise, shadow impact, species protection and grid connection - as a basis for project planning and subsequent approval documents.
Detailed assessment of the current situation on site: landscape, environment, conflicts of use - for site-adapted and compatible planning.
A comprehensive EIA will be carried out this year, in which the impact of the project on nature, biodiversity and people will be carefully examined and assessed.
Once the environmental licence application has been submitted, a review phase begins. This allows data to be added and further dialogue with local stakeholders. At the end of the review phase, a legally required public hearing follows.
