Planning permission has been granted for the two turbines at Oakdale Business Park near Blackwood, Caerphilly. The turbines will provide enough electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 2,400 homes - although it is hoped they will provide reduced price electricity directly to local businesses.
It is hoped to begin construction on the turbines in late 2012/early 2013. The developers will also be consulting with the local community to determine how the community benefit fund will be administered (this will contribute £12,500 per year, index linked, to the local community). If you would like to be involved in this process, please get in touch.
