Alerion Clean Power has entered into an agreement with a consortium including Welsh renewables developer Pennant Walters to develop the permitted 35MW Foel Trawsnant wind farm in Neath and Port Talbot, South Wales.
The companies will cooperate on planning conditions, construction, grid connection and other matters over the next 12 to 24 months to enable full investment by Alerion Clean Power in Pennant Walters (Foelt) Limited.
Foel Trawsnant represents an investment of approximately €55m and would generate 100GWh of clean energy each year.
Alerion Clean Power is an Italian industrial group listed on the stock market of Milan with 20 years of experience in the wind sector and around 1GW of installed capacity.
It operates operates in Spain, Bulgaria and Romania, and Alerion UK was launched during summer 2022 to oversee the expansion of the company in the UK market.
Head of Alerion UK and Ireland Luis Rodriguez said: “This is a significant milestone in Alerion’s expansion into the UK.
“Our aim is for this to be the first of a number of renewable projects that we invest in as we develop a portfolio to help the UK meet its clean energy commitments.”
