Swansea Council approves its first ever solar farm project

Plans for Swansea Council's first ever solar farm have been unanimously approved.

A total of 5,500 panels will be installed on 11 hectares of land at the former Tir John landfill site, Port Tennant. Electricity generated by them will help power a wastewater treatment works a mile away.

The three-megawatt development will occupy a third of Tir John, which stopped accepting black bag waste last year. This section of the site has been capped and grassed over.
