A new solar farm on 90 hectares of land in Swansea would generate the equivalent electricity used by 11,500 households, according to the developer. Taiyo Power and Storage wants to install thousands of panels between Gorseinon and Fforestfach, although they would cover only 34 hectares of the 90-hectare site.
The project - called Parc Solar Caenewydd - would be created in the Afan Llan valley on land mainly south of Swansea Road and the A484, where Day's Motorpark is located. Taiyo Power is holding a consultation on its proposal, which is considered a nationally significant scheme and as such would be determined by the Welsh Government rather than Swansea Council, at the Rechabite Community Hall, Church Street, Gowerton, on September 9 and 10.
