Description The proposed development comprises the construction and operation of 28 wind turbine generators of up to 145 metres in height and other infrastructure integral to the construction and/or operation of the wind farm. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of between 56 and 84 megawatts. A full list of the works comprised in the proposed wind farm can be found at Schedule 1 of the draft Development Consent Order. Additional Note: The developer has also proposed a smaller wind farm within the Brechfa forest known as Brechfa east. As the proposal is below the threshold for a nationally significant infrastructure project, the application will be submitted to the local authority. Facts about Description

        "description": "The proposed development comprises the construction and operation of 28 wind turbine generators of up to 145 metres in height and other infrastructure integral to the construction and/or operation of the wind farm. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of between 56 and 84 megawatts. A full list of the works comprised in the proposed wind farm can be found at Schedule 1 of the draft Development Consent Order. Additional Note: The developer has also proposed a smaller wind farm within the Brechfa forest known as Brechfa east. As the proposal is below the threshold for a nationally significant infrastructure project, the application will be submitted to the local authority.",
