Merthyr Express
|May 15, 2025
A SOLAR farm with the potential to power nearly 2,700 homes is planned for land near Llantrisant.
-
The proposals for Dyffryn solar farm in Ynysmaerdy near Llantrisant from Windel Solar 8 Ltd aim to construct a solar farm across a total area of approximately 28.4 hectares.
The proposed solar farm will have a generating capacity of up to 9.9 MegaWatts (MW) renewable electricity.
That is enough to power more than 2,678 homes per year and offset nearly 2,850 tonnes carbon dioxide every year.
The construction is expected to take eight to 10 months and the proposed farm will have a lifespan of 40 years.
