The Coteaux wind farm, located on the territory of the municipalities of Feuges, Aubeterre, Montsuzain and Sainte- Maure, in the Aube French department, comprises 11 wind turbines with a nominal capacity of 3.45 MW, for a total capacity of 38 MW.

The Mazurier wind farm, located on the territory of the town of Châtillon-lès-Sons, in the Aisne French department, includes 4 wind turbines with a nominal capacity of 3.2 MW, for a total capacity of 12.8 MW. Commissioned in November 2019, this wind farm now generates renewable electricity, that will cover the yearly electricity needs of more than 12,000 households.

The Varaize wind project, located on the territory of the eponymous municipality, in the Charente-Maritime French department, obtained all the necessary authorizations, free of any third-party claim, for its construction and operation. The project will comprise 4 wind turbines. The turbine model is currently being selected. FUTUREN is also continuing construction of the 15.4 MW Mottenberg wind farm in the Moselle French department.
