Natural Power completed the full Environmental Impact Assessment, as well as providing technical services and working closely with Vattenfall’s development team on consent management for Pen y Cymoedd wind farm in South Wales, leading to the consent of the 299MW project.
The 76 turbine wind farm, owned by Vattenfall (formerly Nuon Renewables) is located between Neath and Aberdare, on the southern side of the Vale of Neath. The successful consent of Pen y Cymoedd wind farm takes Natural Power’s portfolio of onshore client consents to more than 1GW. Natural Power’s Welsh office, based in Aberystwyth, has been working on Pen y Cymoedd since early 2008. In close partnership with Vattenfall’s development team, the project has been guided through the planning process in coordination with Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), the RSPB and both Rhondda Cynon Taf and Neath Port Talbot Councils, achieving a clean bill of health from statutory consultees, before gaining approval from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
