Maesgwyn wind farm is located 2-3kms to the north east of Glynneath in Neath Port Talbot County Borough, on the site of several former opencast mines. The site is located within TAN 8 strategic search area E (SSA E). The site received planning consent in 2008, construction commenced in late 2009 and was completed in mid-2011.
Because of the mining history of the site, ground improvement works were required ahead of construction of the wind farm on opencast backfill materials. The wind farm has a remaining operational life of 19 years.
