CONSTRUCTION SET FOR 2027 START FOR NINE 200M-TALL TURBINES
Artist's impression of how the wind turbines will look in Alwen Forest above the reservoir
PLANS for a nine-turbine wind farm next to a North Wales lake have been approved.
RWE’s Alwen Forest Wind Farm, which sits across the boundaries of both Conwy and Denbighshire county councils, has been awarded consent for nine turbines of 200m in height.
They would be located close to the Alwen Reservoir and capable of generating power equivalent to the needs of up to 70,600 homes.
A proposed connection to the National Grid via an existing substation at Clocaenog Forest was also included as part of the planning application.
With consent now in place, the project’s next steps are to secure a route to market pending a final investment decision with construction to follow, potentially beginning in 2027.
