Milford Haven Port Authority Granted Planning Permit for 5 MW Solar Park


The Milford Haven Port Authority just obtained the planning permission for the usual twenty five years term in order to build the proposed 5 MW photo voltaic installation, as the Pembrokeshire County Council approved without objections the solar project yesterday.

Milford Haven Port Authority is the manager of the Milford Haven Port, the most important port and the biggest in Wales, applied for the permit since September 2012.

The solar installation will require 10 ha of land and the location will be at Liddeston Ridge in Milfor Haven. There will be required over 20 000 solar panels for the job, each and every one of them is capable of producing up to 250 watts. The photo voltaic panels will be installed on aluminium mounting structures and the timetable for the project is expected  to take three months since the project receives the green light.

A spokesperson for the local authorities told us :

 “There are still commercial considerations to be considered including the cost of the connection to the grid, but I would say that its positive at present and I expect the project move to construction in 2013.”

When the project will be completed and connected to the national power grid, it will be able to produce 5GWh of solar energy every year.

This solar project is one of the latest steps in the local authority's renewable energy plan, the previous ones already managed to  install 2500 solar panels on buildings in Milford Marina and Pembroke Port.
