Upper Lliw Energy

An innovative wind scheme that will produce clean, green electricity and bring a range of opportunities to the local community.

Project Status

We have recently begun engagement with the local community as we look to shape our proposals for Upper Lliw Energy, ensuring the project is shaped by, and of benefit, to those who live near the scheme.

All feedback gathered throughout the consultation process will be used to shape our application.

An initial site layout is shown below and included in our project brochure.

Questions or feedback can be submitted via the Contact Us section of this website.

Community

Central to all of the projects we undertake is a commitment to ensuring we provide benefit to the communities in which we operate.

This includes supporting local clubs, groups and associations that support community well-being, and where possible utilising local products and services.

"All of our projects, employees and contracted partners embrace our vision for a greener future. Our projects work to meet our set infrastructure, energy and sustainability goals in the communities we work in, and for our stakeholders"

Education

We believe helping future generations understand the need for changes in the way we live is essential.

As part of our commitment to help understand this need, we will be offering all Year 6 pupils from schools within 10km of Upper Lliw Energy a free educational visit to our Parc Stormy HQ in Bridgend, as well as covering any transport costs.

Environment

We understand the natural environment and every site we work on is carefully assessed, before any work starts, and an environmental stewardship plan is built.

Nature works at its own pace and there are no quick wins, which is why our projects allow this important stewardship to go on for the lifetime of each scheme.

The Opportunity for Wales

We believe that the transition to renewable energy is essential for ensuring a sustainable, secure, and healthy future, leaving behind the Wales we want for generations to come.

This project is being developed by CENIN, a Bridgend-based, family-owned business, specialising in the development of integrated energy systems.

Through our innovative approach to building integrated renewable energy systems, we unlock greater potential to provide more value to local communities, increase wellbeing and ultimately leave Wales a better place for our future generations.
