The Pen y Cymoedd wind farm, located within Rhondda Cynon Taf and Neath Port Talbot, South Wales, began operating in 2018.
Vattenfall has established an independent organisation, the Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm Community Interest Company, which manages a community fund. The funds are available to local organisations to be used in line with the community’s priorities.
Battery storage is co-located with the wind farm.
Pen y Cymoedd has a 1,500-hectare Habitat Management Plan, which will see the restoration of peatland across the wind farm.
