Client
Vattenfall.

Project Description
Parc Cynog will be a combined wind and solar farm.

Eleven wind turbines have been in operation for 14 years at the site. Co-locating with solar power makes technical sense, as the wind and the sun tend to generate clean power at different times.  The 5 MW solar farm will comprise 18 860 solar panels, an installed capacity of 4.99 MW, enough to supply 1 441 households.

Value

Duration
Construction on the solar project started in January 2016 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of March 2016.

Latest Developments
