In operation in two years’ time
Blaengwen Wind Farm is planned for a range of hills north of the town of Carmarthen in South Wales. The wind farm will be about 20 km inland of the west coast of Wales. The licence will allow for wind turbines up to 110.5 metres high, measured from the ground to the highest point of the wind turbine.  The wind farm will consist of 10 wind turbines and a licence has been granted for a total generating capacity of up to 30 MW. The wind farm could be ready within two years.

Investing heavily in the UK
The project has been developed by Force 9 Energy in partnership with Catamount Cymru Cyf (CCC), who will be the owners of Blaengwen Wind Farm. Statkraft and the American Catamount Energy Corporation each own half of CCC. The companies are working together on a number of wind power projects on the mainland of Great Britain and have also applied for licences for a further three wind farms. In addition, Statkraft is part owner in five other projects in the British Isles, but with other partners.
