Dulas played a key role in this project, providing crucial consultancy and planning services over the course of seven years! This included Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) project management and coordination, as well as the design and build of the meteorological mast, including its datalogger and power supply. The project was a significant milestone for wind energy in Wales, as it will hopefully unlock future developments on peatland. Our consultancy support also enabled the project to overcome various mid-project changes in regulations, as well as addressing concerns raised in an initially refused application. The 85MW, 17 turbine Garn Fach Wind Farm will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 69,000 UK homes annually. Beyond renewable energy generation, the project will bring significant benefits to the local community. Plans include the creation of new footpaths and cycle tracks, a visitor car park, and habitat enhancements to boost biodiversity. A community benefit fund linked to the wind farm will contribute over £10 million to local projects and initiatives throughout the wind farm’s lifetime. Garn Fach Wind Farm represents a vital step forward in the transition to clean energy, delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits for Wales and beyond. Look out for the full case study on our work on this project, coming soon!
