In Morbihan, Brittany, residents, local officials, and environmental associations are protesting large-scale offshore wind farm projects. Opposition intensified following the August 17 launch of a public inquiry regarding the ‘Bretagne Sud 2’ project, specifically focusing on the placement of electrical substations and submarine connections.

The proposed development consists of two main parks: Pennavel, with a 250 MW capacity located west of Belle-Île-en-mer, and Bretagne Sud 2, which is expected to provide 500 MW south of Groix. Local groups, including Gardiens du Large and PIEBIEM, are contesting the infrastructure layout due to environmental concerns and local identity. The public inquiry is scheduled to continue until September 28.
