In total, there were at the end of 2005 , 757 MW installed compared to 366 MW at the end of 2004. The deployment of wind power continues in eastern and central France. Twelve new departments are seeing wind projects for the first time, underlines the ministry. This is particularly the case of Cher, Maine et Loire, Var and Vienne where building permits for 250 MW have been filed. In addition, some departments have to cope with an influx of building permit applications such as the departments of the Champagne-Ardenne region with early 2006 a power multiplied by four compared.
