Proposal for turbines revealed
Friday 8th June 2007, 11:09AM BST.
Plans for windfarms at three sites in Montgomeryshire have now been revealed.
Acciona Energy has announced today it intends to submit planning applications to Powys County Council for permission to generate electricity from wind at Waun Garno and Mynydd y Cemmaes.
And Tirgwynt Partners and RDC Developments have established a joint venture, Awel Newydd Cif, to develop Tirgwynt Wind Farm on land between Carno and Cefn Coch.
Planning applications are likely to be submitted later this year.
Mike Paffey, senior development manager of Acciona Energy, said: “We believe these sites offer the best opportunities for developing projects which will help meet our future energy needs from renewable sources.”
Exhibitions of the proposal for Mynydd y Cemmaes will be held at Llanbrynmair Community Centre on June 14, from noon-8pm, and Glantwymyn Community Centre on June 18, from 4-8pm.
Exhibitions for the Waun Garno development will be on June 15 at Carno Community Centre, from noon-8pm, and at Trefeglwys Memorial Hall, on June 19, from noon-7pm. The Awel Newydd proposals will be exhibited at Cefn Coch Church Hall on Monday and at Carno Community Hall on June 12, from 2pm-8pm.

these proposals are a disgrace
they will wreck one of the most beautiful landscapes in wales
i am a tourist and a walker, but in future may prefer to visit scotland unless wales resists being a dumping ground for these awful financially motivated structures.

We cannot standby and allow this inappropriate development.
In short it will allow the degradation of these pristine landscapes and environments that should be our common gift to the next generation.
we believe in reasoned argument, but not a political agenda that will deny our children their heritage.
These developers clearly see the destruction of the environment around rural communities in Powys as softer Planning targets than the home counties.

How can anyone stand there and say these things cannot be built, They have to be put somewhere or shall just wait for the gas to run out and keep our heads stuck firmly in the sand
And as for a common gift to the next generation, if something is not done there may not be a next generation.
