RWE Renewables has launched a first phase of community consultation to introduce its proposals for a new onshore wind farm east of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales.
The company currently operates four onshore and three offshore wind farms in Wales.
The new wind farm is named Pen March Wind Farm after the area of land the proposal is sited on, and could potentially consist of up to seven turbines, with an installed operational capacity of up to 30MW.
RWE Renewables renewables developer Jenny Cowley said: “We are at an early stage in developing the proposed Pen March Wind Farm and this is the first phase of our community consultation.
“I’d really encourage people to get in touch with their thoughts so that we can consider feedback as the project develops.”
In accordance with Welsh Government guidance, RWE has created a virtual exhibition room to ensure people can have an opportunity to view and comment on the proposal whilst staying at home.
Cowley added: “As you will appreciate, the current situation makes engagement challenging and does not allow for traditional public exhibitions to be held face to face as we would like but we are just one click away.”
A second formal phase of community consultation is scheduled to be held later this year.
