Funded Project: Description

The project aims to deliver 9MW of wind energy generation on Mynydd y Gwrhyd in South Wales. The project is based in the former coal mining community of the Upper Amman and Swansea Valley, and all surplus from the turbines will go into their fuel poverty energy advice service, which is currently grant funding, to make the service sustainable for the future. 

As part of the project, they will undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) leading to a planning application, pay a deposit to secure the grid, and finalise Options and Leases with their landowners. 

They will also aim to keep the site open as an education resource.
