Rhiwlas Energy Park

About Rhiwlas Energy Park

Rhiwlas Energy Park is a proposed onshore wind energy park, around 1.3km southeast of Llangurig, The proposal includes up to 12 advanced wind turbines, generating up to 80MW of clean, green energy – enough to power approximately 71,200 households per annum*.

We’re committed to ensuring Rhiwlas Energy Park not only benefits the environment but also the local community.  The park’s Community Benefit Fund would deliver up to approximately £600,000 to support groups, projects and places in the community.

This project is classified as a Development of National Significance (DNS), underscoring its importance to the future of Wales. We’re working closely with Powys County Council, who will be preparing a Local Impact Report to ensure the community’s voice is heard throughout the process.

Progress so far:

In December 2025, after an extensive consultation process, Rhiwlas Energy Park planning application was submitted to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW).

PEDW has now validated the application, meaning that, from 17 August 2026, it is now running a five-week consultation, where the public and key stakeholders are given another opportunity to have their say.

This consultation closes on 21 September 2026.
