At 16.1 MW, Beauchamps is well above the median wind plant in France (11.5 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.
