Ty'n y Waun Solar
Ty’n y Waun Solar is an innovative solar PV scheme that would sustainably supply the total power needs of 12,500 homes whilst bringing a wide range of benefits to Heol y Cyw and the surrounding area.
The full planning application for Ty’n y Waun Solar was submitted to PEDW in June 2023 and a decision is expected in early 2025.
Mynydd y Gaer Wind
Mynydd y Gaer Wind Farm would sustainably supply the total power needs for 60,000 homes, producing local power that would help Bridgend reach its net-zero aspirations.
Consultation and engagement with local communities, Community Councils, politicians and the general public has been ongoing since 2021, and we are now in the process of using what we have learned from our engagement to finalise our design.
Junction 36 Travel Hub
Located at Junction 36 of the M4 Motorway, the Travel Hub will be a travel centre for future transport needs, shaped by the local community to best deliver for the people of Bridgend.
2024 will see a wide range of consultation and engagement with the local community, ensuring we clearly communicate our vision for the future of transport in the area.
Ti'r Isha Employment Area
Our Ti’r Isha Employment Area aims to attract advanced manufacturing that requires a high volume of energy at an affordable price.
Situated adjacent to the M4, supplied by a significant source of green energy, this will create high-value sustainable employment for local residents.
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 these 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.
