A new draft application for a massive wind farm on the border of Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend has been announced by developers this month, for what could be the highest onshore wind-farm in the UK.
The proposal, which has now been revised for a third time and contains three fewer turbines, will go back out for public consultation this summer after Coriolis Energy and the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) released new plans to build 18 wind turbines in a semi-rural area between Port Talbot and Maesteg.
The proposed site which would be named Y Bryn wind farm, sits on two blocks of Welsh Government woodland estate managed by Natural Resources Wales, and would fall largely within Neath Port Talbot County Borough, stretching in parts to Bridgend County Borough.
