RWE is consulting on proposals to build a 30MW wind farm in Wales.
If approved, Pen March Wind Farm, to be located north-west of Rhymney and north-east of Merthyr Tydfil, will consist of up to six turbines with a maximum tip height of 180m.
The pre-application consultation runs from 3rd November 2022 until 15th December 2022 online, with in-person events at Dowlais, Rhymney, and Idris Davies School.
RWE is also in discussions with Caerphilly and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Councils on the potential for shared ownership on the project, an initiative which will address a key Welsh Government policy that 1GW of generating capacity will be locally owned by 2030.
RWE’s project manager Jenny Cowley said: “Since 2019, we’ve been working hard developing the Pen March Wind Farm project.
“We’ve carried out assessments on site, held discussions with local stakeholders, conducted an informal public consultation and gathered a huge amount of valuable information.
“We believe that this is an excellent site for a renewable energy project, which will help tackle climate change, secure energy supplies, and stabilise prices.
“We are now seeking formal input again from members of the public and statutory consultees, ahead of submitting a planning application to the Welsh Government.”
As well as generating clean, green electricity at low cost, RWE will also put together a package of benefits that will directly benefit local people, including a community investment fund, it said.
