Carnedd Wen Wind Farm and Habitat Restoration Project

Carnedd Wen

RWE Npower Renewables Limited submitted an application under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for a 65 turbine wind farm and associated habitat restoration project in December 2008 and this application is being dealt with by the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC).

Supplementary Environmental Information (SEI) has been produced by SKM Enviros on behalf of RWE Npower Renewables and this has been submitted to DECC for consideration as part of the application. The proposals have been revised to reduce the environmental impact principally through the deletion of 15 turbines and the removal of associated infrastructure and a trebling of the peatland restoration area to 400 hectares.

A Notice about this has been placed in the County Times and London Gazette on the 7th and 14th October 2011 and there is a 28 day period for viewing and comments to be sent to DECC. A copy of the Notice can be viewed online.

A copy of the information at a price of £100 for the printed document and £5 for a DVD, may also be obtained, while stocks last, from RWE Npower Renewables Limited, Unit 22, Baglan Bay Innovation Centre, Central Avenue, Baglan Energy Park, Port Talbot, SA12 7AX, tel: (01639) 816180, email: melanie.david-johnson@rwe.com.

Any queries or representations about this additional information should be made in writing to the Secretary of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, c/o Susan Bragoli, Area 3A, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW or by email to: Susan.Bragoli@decc.gsi.gov.uk not later than 5pm on Friday, November 11th 2011. Unless otherwise indicated, copies of any representations will be regarded as public documents.

On this page you will find an electronic file version of the SEI which is being made available for download. Because of the size of the entire document, the SEI has been split into smaller files so that it is easier and quicker for you to download and view the specific sections that you are interested in.

A Non-Technical Summary of the SEI is available for download, please visit the Supplimentary Environmental Information page for more details..
