Pre-application Consultation for Larnog Solar Farm opens
Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru, the renewable energy company owned by the Welsh Government, operating on behalf of and with the people of Wales, is inviting local people to take part in the statutory pre-application consultation for the proposed Larnog Solar Farm. The project would make an important contribution to energy security by providing approximately 35MW of installed clean energy capacity, equivalent to the electricity needs of approximately 13,800 average Welsh homes. The consultation will run from 11 November to 15 December 2026. Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru is hosting two drop-in events, taking place at Lower Penarth Community Hall at 3pm-7pm, Friday 13 November 2026 and 10am – 2pm, Saturday 14 November 2026.

Find out about our work
With an initial focus on the Welsh Government Woodland Estate, we assess where best to develop sustainable renewable energy projects. Better, more sustainable development means delivering the most positive effects for people, nature and planet, over the long term.

What we do
Why Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru?
There are already many developers operating in Wales, the UK and globally. Will Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru make a difference? All renewable energy developers can help address the impacts of climate change, contribute to the energy transition, and over the long term, help to bring down the cost of energy for bill payers. Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru is the only larger-scale onshore wind developer wholly owned by the people of Wales with a singular focus on delivering for Wales. Meet the team.
Who we are
Can nature and renewable energy infrastructure coexist in harmony?
One of the greatest threats to nature is climate change. Nature is also threatened by local impacts from many different kinds of human activity. Better understanding means better, more sustainable infrastructure development. Choosing where to develop is key. Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru will be part of the drive for more strategic and efficient use of Welsh public land, delivering multiple benefits in each location. Conifer plantation forests provide important resources to society, and the cyclical pattern of felling and replanting opens up space for wind turbines. With new forest management practices, commercial forestry works better with nature, and in partnership, we will be exploring opportunities to deliver biodiversity benefits.
