Pen y Cymoedd ("Head of the Valleys") is a consented £365m wind farm development, located between Neath and Aberdare in south Wales. The company has signed a lease agreement with Vattenfall of Sweden, and its subsidiary Nuon Renewables, to develop what would be the United Kingdom's highest altitude wind farm, on a site owned by the Forestry Commission Wales,.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wind Energy Project Pen y Cymoedd (SSA F) )〕 The project would see the installation of 76 turbines that are planned to operate for 25 years, and to generate up to 256 MW, an amount enough to power up to 206,000 homes. During the planning process, Nuon agreed to contribute about £1.85m annually to a community fund and to invest £3m in a habitat restoration scheme, and the following parties contributed to the debate: *Glyncorrwg Action Group: the wind farm will look down on the village of Glyncorrwg in the Afan Valley. Residents of the village campaigned against the development, which they claim would destroy the character of the landscape. *Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales: objected on the grounds of its potential impact on a sensitive peat habitat. *Neath Port Talbot Council: the planning committee decided not to object to the scheme in January 2012, after councillors carried out a site visit, although they set a number of conditions. Nuon Renewables was rebranded in January 2012 with the name of its parent company. After gaining final planning permission in May 2012, the wind farm is expected to be at full operational capacity by 2016. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pen y Cymoedd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
