Early Engagement Begins on New Energy Park near Brecon.

Garreg Fawr Energy Park could generate enough clean, green electricity to power up to 109,700 homes. 

Our Plans for Garreg Fawr Energy Park

We’re excited to be starting our early conversations with communities about our latest project – Garreg Fawr Energy Park – a proposed energy park in Powys that could generate enough clean, green electricity to power up to 109,700 homes. 

As we shape the plans for this new onshore wind development, we want to hear from people who live and work in the area. That’s why we’ve launched early engagement and are inviting local communities to share their views via our interactive platform, Give My View. 

We believe that energy developments should benefit the communities that host them – not just through clean power, but through local investment, opportunities, and partnerships. That’s why Garreg Fawr Energy Park could deliver up to £1,155,000 every year into the local area via a Community Benefit Fund, creating a legacy of investment in community spaces, services and support. 

Getting to know the local communities

But it’s not just about the fund. Our Community Investment team is committed to working alongside local people to improve access to nature, explore local employment opportunities, and support local schools and facilities.

Over the coming weeks and months, we’re aiming to connect with as many groups and organisations as possible – from local councils and sports clubs to schools and charities – to understand what really matters in your community, and how we can make a meaningful contribution.

“Bute Energy is taking action now to help deliver clean, green energy to our homes and businesses, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the Welsh Government’s target for electricity to be 100% renewable by 2035. 

We’re looking forward to hearing from local people how we can help support projects and tackle issues in communities around the site – so we can deliver real benefits to local people."

Early plans.

The proposed site sits around 9km north-west of Brecon.  We’re still at the start of this journey, and no decisions have been made – so now is the time to get involved and help shape the future.
