Environmental Impact Assessment

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is currently in progress for Broughton Wind Farm Project. This process refers to the analysis of the Project’s infrastructure and its potential impacts on the biophysical and human environments, and then recommend mitigation measures for the various impacts, as applicable. Several documents are now available on the Environmental assessment registry website of the ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs.
