Parc Solar Caenewydd
Community energy and nature recovery in one transformative Welsh solar and battery development
- 46GWh of clean energy per year, accelerating Wales’ ambition to meet 100% of electricity demand from renewables by 2035
- Supporting local farming, with sheep grazing retained beneath the panels and the Gowerton farm shop safeguarded.
- 10% community shared ownership model – giving local residents and businesses the opportunity to invest through GowerPower.
- Strengthening energy security, with co-located battery storage enhancing grid resilience and supporting future renewables.
- Cutting 18,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually – equivalent to removing 4,000 petrol cars from Welsh roads each year.
- Delivering at least 26% biodiversity net gain, with new habitats along the Afon Llan and 61% of the site free from solar arrays.
