Residents oppose plans for solar farm and seven large wind turbines in a Welsh valley

Residents in Neath Port Talbot have spoken out against proposals for an energy farm that is expected to be submitted for land near the villages of Seven Sisters and Crynant this year.

The plans, which could see a huge site consisting of wind turbines and solar energy panels, have been brought forward by the energy company EDF in recent months before they look to gain planning permission from the Welsh Government at the end of 2023.

The site, which would be named Hirfynydd Renewable Energy Park, would consist of a mix of technologies including a wind farm with up to seven turbines as well as a solar farm and battery storage facility near the Dulais valley communities.
