Welsh Govt venture is planning N.Wales windfarm in forest
Daily Post
|July 12, 2025
THE Welsh Government owned renewable energy developer Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru wants to build a new wind farm at a forest site in North Wales.
The organisation has announced proposals for three new wind farms in Wales with the potential to generate up to 400 MW of electricity.
They say this would be enough to power 350,000 Welsh homes' annual average electricity needs. That is around a quarter of the homes in Wales.
It is the first project announcement since Trydan's launch in 2024 and the government said it will help meet the growing need for clean energy in Wales with electricity demand projected to nearly triple by 2050.
Trydan is wholly owned by Welsh Government which defines its remit, and the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, Rebecca Evans, has oversight of activities.
Trydan's ambition is to develop 1 GW of new renewable energy generation capacity on Welsh public land by 2040.
All profits generated would be reinvested in Welsh communities and public services.
