Consultation - Mynydd Mawr Energy Park

Dear stakeholder,

RE: Introduction to Mynydd Mawr Energy Park

I am writing to with information on proposals for Mynydd Mawr Energy Park, a proposed Renewable Energy Park on land situated between the Ceiriog and Tanat valleys in north eastern Powys and southern Wrexham, adjacent to the Shropshire border and approximately 8km west of Oswestry.

The Proposed Project

The proposal includes up to 21 wind turbines with a maximum height to blade tip of 230m. Solar photovoltaic panels and battery energy storage system technology are also being considered at the Energy Park, subject to the completion of further technical studies.

If the Mynydd Mawr Energy Park is approved, the Energy Park could generate up to 147 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity from the wind turbines alone, enough to power up to 122,000 homes i

This could offset some 173,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, assisting in tackling the climate emergency and supporting Wales to achieve its target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 ii.

Public consultation

The consultation will run from Wednesday 13 November and you will have until Wednesday 18 December to provide your feedback on the proposals. We will be holding a number of consultation events to give you an opportunity to find out more information about the proposals and meet the project team.
