This is the tab body content. It is typically best to keep this area short and to the point so it isn't too overwhelming.

The Fforch Nest wind farm is located 4kms to the north of the village of Glynogwr and to the north west of Gilfach Goch. The site is located on flat upland mountain plateau between the Cwm Ogwr Fawr to the west and Cwm Ogwr Fach to the east which flows through the settlement on Gilfach Goch. The site is located within TAN 8 strategic search area F (SSA F). The site spans the Bridgend County Borough and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough areas (and lies adjacent to the Pant y Wal windfarm). The project was developed and permitted by RWE Npower, but acquired and then built out by Pennant Walters in 2011. The wind farm became operational in mid-2013.
The wind farm has a remaining operational life of over 18 years.
