Windfarm developer RES says plans in Wales remain on track
Renewable energy company RES has rejected rumours that it was planning to pull out of projects in Wales.
RES says proposals for projects at Llangurig and Llanbrynmair are going ahead and that it 'continues to have an active interest' in the area.
In January 2025 the renewable energy company put in an application to build a new wind farm park near Llangurig which would be one of the largest in the county.
The proposed Lluest Dolgwiail Wind Farm would see 35 turbines at the site, each 230m tall, adding that the plans submitted to the Welsh Government are still at an early stage and that the company will be looking consult the public going forward.
Another proposal for a wind farm at Llanbrynmair, a re-design from an earlier proposal of 30 wind turbines which was approved by the then Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in 2021, with RES adding that both proposals remain in the 'early stage'.
A spokesperson for the renewable energy company said: 'RES continues to have active interest in development opportunities in Wales and last month had its application for the proposed 13-turbine Mynydd Maen Wind Farm, located between Caerphilly and Torfaen, validated by Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW).
'A project, which if consented, is estimated to deliver £26.3m into the Welsh economy and would generate enough clean, low-cost renewable energy for approximately 55,000 homes.
'RES remains at an early stage of the design of Lluest Dolgwiail Wind Farm and the re-design of the previously consented Llanbrynmair Wind Farm proposals. We value everyone's time and always aim to present the best proposals to engage with stakeholders and local communities. We will keep the community up to date on both projects.
