Welcome to our project website. Here you will find information about our proposal for a new solar farm at Ty Maen. You can also provide your feedback and comments on the proposals which will be considered carefully by the project team and help to shape the final design.
The UK’s electricity demand is forecast to double by 2050 as we transition away from polluting fossil fuels to clean electric power to help address climate change. The demand is driven by many factors including the growing use of electric cars, the transition away from gas and oil boilers to electric heat pumps and the growing number of UK households, and the rapid expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence technologies, which require significant amounts of electricity.
The UK must also address energy security and become far less reliant on volatile foreign energy markets which have caused the recent spikes in household energy bills.
The proposal represents a form of low carbon development which would facilitate the generation of clean, renewable electricity and support the decarbonisation of the UK’s energy supply. The development provides for the capture of solar energy and its conversion into electricity, making use of an abundant and renewable resource to supply the grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based generation.
The website provides further information on the proposals and the energy context in the UK. Importantly, you can complete our survey and leave your feedback. All of your comments will be carefully considered by the project team and will help to shape the final proposals.
Thank you for your interest in this project and taking the time to look at our website.
