Warning of "Industrialisation by Stealth" in Wales
James Evans MS has warned that Wales faces "industrialisation by stealth" due to 70 proposed onshore wind farms, including five in Brecon & Radnorshire.
- Aberedw
- Nant Mithil (Radnor Forest)
- Bryn Gilwern
- Garreg Fawr (Sennybridge/Pontfaen)
- Banc y Celyn (Erwood/Upper Chapel)
These schemes total over 100 turbines, each exceeding 200 metres in height.
"15,000 jobs are going to be created as a result of renewable energy. That is not something I'm going to apologise for." - The First Minister
