Powys Council has granted planning permission for Amegni Renewables’ 13-turbine Carno 3 wind farm extension in Mid-Wales.
Having been previously recommended for approval by planning officers, councillors voted 7-5 in favour of Carno 3.
The project is slated to feature turbines with a 126.5-metre tip height of between 2MW and 3.2MW. The wind farm is an extension to the 34MW Carno and 15.6MW Carno 2.
Amegni submitted supplementary environmental information last July to reduce the project’s scope from 18 to 13 turbines in response to comments from consultees.
The up to 41.6MW project’s planning application was originally submitted in July 2010.
