Climate Change: Y Bryn Wind Farm Aids Net Zero Aim – Developer

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

A new onshore wind farm could help Wales move towards its net zero target by 2050, say developers.

These two paragraphs outline the scheme.

But some local people called the Y Bryn plan between Port Talbot and Maesteg a “blight on the landscape”.

The plan, first proposed in 2021, now includes 18 turbines up to 250m (820ft), rather than the original 26.

I feel that we need to develop renewable energy all round the UK.

This project, is obviously felt by the developers to be a serious proposition, judging by the very professional web site.

Some places like the Midlands and the South of England are a long way from large offshore wind and nuclear developments, but Port Talbot and Maesteg may be close enough to planned offshore wind farms, that this wind farm may need not to be developed.

I shall be following this development.
