Flemish Government Overrides Local Opposition, Approves 220m Wind Turbine in Drogenbos

Flemish minister Jo Brouns approved a permit for Luminus to build a 220-meter wind turbine at Allnex's chemical site in Drogenbos, overriding negative advice from two municipalities and over 200 local objections. This marks a state-level decision favoring renewable energy infrastructure over local opposition, potentially setting a precedent for similar projects in Belgium.
