Awel y Môr Proposed Wind Farm Update: Newsletter, Summer 2023

The most recent newsletter for the Awel y Môr windfarm is available from the Awel y Môr website here.

This edition of the newsletter provides an update on the Development Consent Order application process, and also the work that is underway to develop the supply chain and skills that will be needed to support the windfarm.

The newsletter also confirms that the marine licence has been issued for the upcoming site investigation campaign.  This work is expected to take place later this year.

About the proposed windfarm

If approved, the Awel y Môr windfarm would be built around six miles off the North Wales coast, to the west of the existing Gwynt y Môr windfarm.  Awel y Môr would be connected to the National Grid by an export cable coming ashore between Rhyl and Prestatyn.  The proposed windfarm would include up to 50 wind turbines.  It could generate enough power for up to half a million homes, and it will be the largest renewable energy investment in Wales in this decade.

Full project details and maps of the windfarm location are available at the project website awelymor.cymru.
