STOP THE USELESS & DESTRUCTIVE
WIND FARM PROGRAMME

Join the international demand for a moratorium
on European wind energy projects

EPAW's objectives:

The European Platform Against Windfarms (EPAW) was founded in Paris on 4th October, 2008, by federations, associations, and other groups from four EU countries.

The aim of EPAW is to defend the interests of the many groups which are either:

  • opposing individual wind farm proposals;
  • or questioning the effectiveness of wind farms as a tool for solving our energy problems;
  • or protecting flora, fauna and landscapes from the damage wind farms cause directly or through environmental degradation such as erosion, water contamination and bush fires;
  • or fighting generally against the damaging effects of wind farms on tourism, the economy, people's quality of life, their health and the value of their property;
  • or concerned with some or all of the above.

Join EPAW:

We urge local groups, associations and other European groups, or, where applicable, their federations, to join EPAW. At its inception EPAW represented organisations from Germany, France, Belgium and Spain. Since then we have been joined by groups and associations from the UK, Italy, the Netherlands and an increasing number of other countries. We hope more will join after reading EPAW's draft letter to the European institutions (see below). All you need to do is send an email authorised by the head of the organisation to contact@epaw.org stating your wish to join.

Request for a moratorium:

We are preparing a letter (see draft below), which we shall send to the European institutions. In it we shall demand that a moratorium be declared on the approval of all new wind farm projects and on the construction of all those which have been approved. The letter will also be circulated amongst the European media. It is clear that the effectiveness of our actions will be proportional to the number of organisations which join EPAW, and to the number of countries involved. We therefore urge all the organisations concerned to register as members.

How EPAW operates:

Drafts of future letters and press releases will be submitted to all member groups. Feedback will be encouraged. In cases where a member group communicates its disagreement with the final wording, we shall try to find a compromise. If a mutually satisfactory solution cannot be found, the member group may withdraw from EPAW, either temporarily (until the draft of another communication is circulated), or indefinitely. Member groups may also withdraw at any time after notifying EPAW.

Take action now:

But let's think positively: EPAW represents an enormous advance, a landmark in our protracted battle against wind farms. Let's make EPAW work for us.

Let's make the European institutions aware:

  • that hundreds of associations, local initiatives and other groups are totally dissatisfied with wind farms;
  • that intermittent, uncontrollable energy does not solve any of humanity's problems, even in part;
  • that the only thing wind turbines do is cause considerable harm to people, the economy, national budgets and the environment.

To this end we invite you to review the draft letter below and to join EPAW. If you are dissatisfied with the letter's wording, kindly let us know what you would like to see amended, bearing in mind that every round of consultation makes us lose precious time.

Thank you.

United we stand, divided we fall.

To the European Commissioners,
To Members of the European Parliament,

Dear Sir or Madam

The European Platform Against Windfarms (EPAW) was founded in Paris on 4 October 2008 through an initiative by French, German, Spanish and Belgian organisations. Since then, they have been joined by over 300 European and pan-European associations and groups based in the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ireland, Sweden, Romania, Denmark, Bulgaria, Greece and two non-EU countries, Norway and Switzerland. A list of these groups is available on the EPAW website: www.epaw.org.

Messages of support have been received from countries as far afield as, amongst others, Canada, Australia, the USA, Mexico or Puerto Rico. These can also be found on the EPAW website.

EPAW supports renewable energy schemes when it can be demonstrated that they are effective and socially, economically and environmentally acceptable. In order to meet these criteria, it is imperative that affected communities are fully consulted about each proposal.

EPAW finds it deplorable that renewable energy installations are often deployed within the European Union after pressure from financial or ideological interest groups. The disturbing consequence is that such projects do not fulfill the basic criteria for sustainable development.

EPAW maintains that wind farms represent the worst case scenario. Their effectiveness remains unproven and yet for decades they have absorbed the greatest proportion of funding ring-fenced by governments for renewable energy projects. Worse still, they contribute to the degradation of the environment.

EPAW wishes to draw your attention to the fact that wind farms have been shown repeatedly to be completely at odds with European policy for sustainable development, in that:

  • the contribution of wind farms to the reduction of CO2 emissions is insignificant because of the need to resort to thermal power plants to compensate for the intermittent nature of electricity generated by wind turbines. This also means that wind energy does not significantly reduce the costly and increasingly politically sensitive importation of fossil fuels;
  • the growing number of wind farms makes it necessary to upgrade the high voltage transmission system across Europe and to build more control installations because experience shows that grid stability is threatened by the erratic nature of wind energy. The new high tension lines incur high costs and cause further unacceptable damage to the environment;
  • even after several decades of technical development, wind energy remains economically unviable. Thus, wind farms devour colossal amounts of public money leading to their dependence upon an artificial market for their very existence. Moreover, the excesses of this artificial market allow scandalous personal fortunes to be amassed at taxpayers' and consumers' expense with no ecological benefit. In fact, real damage is done;
  • wind farms are significantly altering Europe's natural and cultural heritage by their harmful effect on landscapes and historic buildings. They have a severe impact on property values which for homeowners often represent the fruits of a lifetime of work;
  • wind farms degrade the local residents' quality of life, even damaging the health of some;
  • wind farms imperil wildlife and destroy natural habitats which have hitherto escaped the destructive powers of earth-moving equipment, concreting operations and other highly invasive human activities.

Confronted with the blatant contradictions between the sustainable development objectives of the EU and the alarming results of its present wind farm policy, EPAW formally requests that the European Union:

  1. Places an immediate moratorium on all wind farm projects in the European Union, including those which have already been granted planning consent.
  2. Commissions an investigation by a panel of truly independent experts into the effects of European Union wind farm policy - a “reality check” - paying particular attention to:
  • Carbon savings:

    The panel should evaluate the quantities of carbon dioxide emitted during the construction, maintenance, surveillance and complete dismantling of wind farms. It should also assess the indirect effects of grid integration, such as the quantity of extra CO2 emitted as a result of the need to compensate for the power fluctuations inherent in wind-generated electricity. Back-up generation leads to the unavoidably inefficient operation of fossil-fuel power stations.

    The actual contribution of EU wind farm policy to the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol should then be estimated and presented in summary form.

  • Economic impact:

    The panel should evaluate the direct and indirect costs of the deployment of wind farms, detailing the impact on overall public expenditure and, over the long term, on electricity charges for households and industrial and commercial consumers.

    The cost analysis should include:

    • subsidies, fiscal advantages, and regulatory tariffs which benefit the wind farm industry;
    • the cost of building fossil-fuel power stations to balance unstable wind power, of installing HT power lines to link the wind farms to the grid, of building control centres to regulate the wind's unpredictable variability, and of upgrading electricity networks.

    As wind farms absorb considerable amounts of public funds, EPAW demands that the EU commissions an audit of the wind power industry's financial transactions and practices. The audit should include an investigation into company structures and the degree to which tax avoidance schemes such as tax havens are employed.

  • Social impact:

    The panel should investigate the impact of wind farms on human health. A representative group of local residents should be invited to participate.

    The panel should appraise the effects of changes to the environment on local residents and assess the impact of the presence of wind farms on the value of land and buildings and tourism over time.

  • Environmental impact:

    The “reality check” should include an inventory of degraded natural habitats and of landscapes sacrificed as a result of the installation of wind farms in violation of the European Landscape Convention, which stipulates: “As a reflection of European identity and diversity, the landscape is our living natural and cultural heritage, be it ordinary or outstanding, urban or rural, on land or in water.”

    EPAW considers it unacceptable that European institutions should promote the despoiling of the European landscape by a process of homogenisation into an industrial “brownfield site” with thousands of wind farms stretching from Lapland to Gibraltar, some planted in the heart of nature reserves. These were established at great cost through the EU's Natura 2000 programme.

    The EU should therefore set up a panel of independent ornithologists and biologists who are acknowledged by all parties to be impartial. The panel should objectively evaluate the individual and cumulative effects of existing and proposed wind farms and associated HT power lines on European flora and fauna and their habitats.

    Finally, the “reality check” should include an investigation into the ways in which the construction and operation of wind farms causes pollution of ground cover, topsoil, streams, rivers and groundwater. Particular attention should be paid to the effects on the environment of contamination resulting from lubricants leaking from worn or collapsed wind turbines, detergents used to remove oil and insects from turbine blades, the large-scale use of concrete for their bases and the construction of access roads.

EPAW wishes to emphasise that the ill-conceived and poorly implemented EU wind farm policy adds oil to the fire of euro-scepticism. Many ecologically-conscious and well-informed people in the EU have the feeling that the European institutions have set their hearts on industrial wind power generation without pausing to consider its real impact on the environment and the acceptable limits of its exploitation. In the critical context of building the EU's energy base, observers find it inconceivable that the Union's energy policy can be founded on the wind farm lobby's myth of clean wind-generated electricity.

The negative effects of industrial wind turbines on people, landscapes, tourism, property values, wildlife, and the economy are widely understood and accepted. It will be disastrous if the European Union refuses to perform a “reality check” on its wind farm policy.

Respectfully yours,

WalesGlyncorrwg Action Group

Our group is based in Glyncorrwg at the top of the beautiful Afan Valley in Wales, UK. This former mining village has suffered from economic and social deprivation since the last mine closed in 1970 with the loss of around 1000 jobs. The population has halved since the closing of the mine and many people suffer from a range of illnesses.

Since 1994 this community has been threatened by a series of proposals for wind farms. The village is not opposed to renewable energy, it is the scale and the closeness to homes which they object to. The natural scenery will be ruined. Many rare bird are located in this area.
In some cases 400 feet turbines would be as close as 500 metres from homes. Two planning applications have been rejected with another still in the pre planning phase.
The latest project is a proposal by Amsterdam based Nuon to build 50 to 60 of a 96 turbine wind farm near to the village, the closest being 800 metres from the nearest home. Each turbine will be 475 feet high. The tallest building in Wales has just been completed in Swansea, this is 360 feet high.

We have been involved with many others in fighting these wind farms which we feel are being imposed on us from outside and many feel that after 100 years of coal mining when the scars of this are beginning to heal, the burden of energy production should be shared throughout the country. The adverse effects of wind farms have not been highlighted in this country. Wind energy is mediaeval technology which mainly benefits multi national wind companies rather than local communities.

Queridos amigos de EPAW

Queremos formar parte de la European Platform Against Windfarms – EPAW, pues aunque estamos a favor de cualquier tipo de energías renovables y de la energía eólica en puntos muy concretos en otros es una auténtica barabaridad lo que está sucediendo.

Logo

Así estamos luchando para que parte de la Sierra de Ávila quede libre de molinos tras ver las barbaridades que se han realizado en los parques de Cabeza Mesa, El Rincón y el Colladillo con un una evaluación de impacto ambiental obsoleta realizada para aerogeneradores más pequeños y de menor potencia.

Todo ello ha supuesto la apertura más viales y más anchos así como la deposición de rellenos espectaculares en cauces, la realización de trabajos a 200 m a de colonias de buitre leonado y la muerte de un ejemplar de águila real. Y por supuesto de la energía nuclear no queremos ni oir hablar.

Comitato Monte dei Cucchi

Dear EPAW,

we are a committee constituted by residents, who live in small towns and in the countryside, and non residents people, who have here their cottages. We are opposing to the construction of a windfarm on the north Italian Apennines about 1000mt on the s.l., precisely between Florence and Bologna, in the municipality of S.Benedetto Val di Sambro (Bologna – Italy), very close to three small towns and a tourist-residential village of about 150 cottages.

If this windfarm project will be constructed, it will be as the largest of the northern part of Italy (24 towers, 100mt high).

The south part of Italy and the two islands – Sicilia and Sardegna - are crowded with windturbines, their number increase every month, new projects are proposed to regions and provinces who administer our beautiful country from many different societies. Nobody cares about persons, animals, landscapes, territories, the Italian Government doesn’t lay down rules and regulations about windfarms (for example about the minimum distance from houses).

We sincerely join your demand for a moratorium on European wind energy projects and ask you to add our organisation – Comitato Monte dei Cucchi - to your membership.

Best wishes and many thanks for what you are doing.
