The Council of Isle of Angsley just approved the plans for what is going to be, at least in theory, Wales's largest photo voltaic park, a 15 MW solar array located at Tai Moelion Farm on Bodorgan Estate in Anglesey.
The local council authorized the project for 25 years of operation only after the solar developer New Forest Energy promised to continue to work with the Gwynedd Archeological Planning Service, in an archaeological work on the future solar park site.
New Forest Energy is a wood fuel producer group and was established in 2009,located in the south west corner of the New Forest National Park, situated within 15 miles of Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Southampton.
The founder members of the producer group are 3 forest owners located around the Hinton estate.
The solar developer told us that the proposed solar park will be raised on 30 hectares of pasture land and it will become the Wales's biggest photo voltaic installation when it will be operational.
The project consists of 6 large fields with a total of 64 000 solar modules, with large areas left between the rows of PV-panels, in order to enable grazing to continue, as the site will be used for both generating solar power as well for agriculture.
The timetable of the project is 3 months, upon completion the project will connect to the national power grid via the 33kv overhead lines already installed, the solar array will produce enough carbon free energy to power 4500 households every year.
