Major wind farm plans near Pontypridd with energy capacity to power 15,000 homes

A planning application for a wind farm development near Pontypridd, with the potential to provide green electricity to power more than 15,00 homes, has been submitted and will be determined by Welsh Government ministers.

The 30 megawatt Mynydd y Glyn Wind Farm project is from Hirwaun-based Pennant Walters – the largest indigenous renewable provider in Wales and part of the Walters Group.

The company has to date built six wind farms which along with its solar farm developments provide 127 megawatt capacity of energy. Its latest proposed development, for which a statutory consultation was carried out over the winter, is for seven turbines which would provide energy into the National Grid over a 30 operational lifespan.
