In development

Aarschot E314

4 Windturbines gelegen langs de E314 in Aarschot en Tielt-Winge.

Projectoverzicht

ENGIE heeft een project van 4 windturbines in ontwikkeling. Het windturbineproject situeert zich te Aarschot en Tielt-Winge, langs de E314, tussen afrit 22 (Aarschot) en afrit 23 (Tielt-Winge). Dit project vormt twee clusters van twee turbines. De twee westelijke turbines (WT1 west en WT2 west) bevinden zich in een lijnopstelling ten zuiden van de E314 en in de omgeving van de Jennekensstraat in Aarschot. De twee oostelijke turbines (WT1 oost en WT2 oost) bevinden zich in een lijnopstelling ten noorden van de E314 en de Groenweg in de omgeving van Oudenbos.    

Het project zal in 2 aparte aanvragen gebeuren namelijk één vergunningsaanvraag voor de twee oostelijke windturbines en één vergunningsaanvraag voor de twee westelijke windturbines.

Veelgestelde vragen

Are wind turbine blades buried at the end of their lifespan?

Many people think that wind turbine blades are eventually buried. Spoiler alert: that’s not the case at all!

Is a residential wind turbine cost-effective and affordable?

Installing a small wind turbine in your garden may seem attractive, but in practice it is rarely cost-effective.

In reality, wind energy is more affordable for your wallet than you might think.

Are wind turbines one of the main causes of bird mortality?

There is a lot of discussion about wind turbines and their impact on birds, but did you know that it is very rare for a bird to be killed by a collision with a wind turbine?

Do wind turbines make as much noise as a vacuum cleaner?

“Do wind turbines make far too much noise?” Not really.

Are wind turbines an ecological disaster when it comes to recycling them at the end of their lifespan?

The vast majority of a wind turbine can be recycled: steel, electronic components, concrete from the foundations, and so on.

Do wind turbines emit more CO₂ than they save?

This question may arise when we look at the full life cycle of a wind turbine.

Do wind turbines cause environmental damage?

Every human activity has an impact on the environment, and wind farm projects are no exception.

Do wind turbines damage the landscape?

This is first and foremost a highly subjective issue that varies from person to person.

Do wind turbines consume more energy than they produce?

This is a misconception.
