Swiss windmill

Vaud, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The three communes of St Cergue, Trélex and Givrins will be home to a new windmill park with three of the aeolian structures to go up by 2013. The three are scheduled to sign an agreement Friday afternoon 29 May to work with sol-E Suisse and la Société Electrique des Forces de l’Aubonne (SEFA). Sol-E Suisse is a subsidiary of Forces motrices bernoises (FMB).

The project is budgeted to cost CHF25-30 millions. The first stage will be a study of wind patterns in the area to see which of several possible sites is most suitable. The area was selected by the federal energy office.

Ed. note: according to the town manager’s office in St Cergue, maps that appear in local media are not official and the location of the windmills has not yet been determined, since the wind studies must first be completed.
