The UK and Welsh Assembly Governments are committed to increasing the amount of renewable energy we produce. The Welsh Government has recently strengthened its commitment to maximising renewable energy targets, which now propose:

1. For 100% of electricity consumption to be generated from renewable energy by 2035;

2. For 1.5  gigawatt of renewable energy capacity to be locally owned by 2035; and

3. For new renewable energy projects to have at least an element of local ownership from 2020.

Future Wales identifies 10 Pre Assessed Areas (PAAs) for wind energy within which there is a presumption in favour of large scale wind development If you have land within these PAAs that you think may be suitable for large scale wind or solar development then please do get in contact.

Pennant Walters is a Wales based renewable energy development company operating since 2002 with its head office in Hirwaun, near Aberdare South Wales. We take projects from origination, through planning, financing to construction and then operational management. We manage all six of the wind projects we have built and so landowners, local community and other stakeholders have continuity and get to deal with the same PW personnel they met at the outset of the project (in some cases more than 15 years ago).

Currently we have just under 124MW of operational onshore wind capacity in South Wales with another 104MW of onshore capacity permitted awaiting construction over the next few years. We are Wales’ largest home grown renewable energy developer.
