Flemish Minister Refuses Permit for Two 200m Wind Turbines in Affligem

Flemish Environment Minister Jo Brouns denied a permit for two 200-meter wind turbines along the E40 in Affligem, citing excessive environmental impact. Local opposition group Actiecomité Affligem Windstil welcomed the decision. This reflects ongoing local resistance to renewable energy projects in Belgium, potentially slowing the country's energy transition.
