Awel Co-op owns two 2.35MW Enercon wind turbines on Mynydd y Gwrhyd, 20 miles north of Swansea.

Read our Awelog to find out how our wind farm was built. The turbines were commissioned on January 25th 2017. They produce over 12,000 MWh of clean, low carbon energy per year –  enough to supply over 2,500 homes.

The wind farm was funded by £3m of community shares and a £5.25m loan from Triodos Bank.

We had some fun…here is Paul Thorburn, Welsh rugby legend, recreating his Monster kick feat by booting a rugby ball over one of our turbine foundations. And Emily Hinshelwood, our co-founder, imagining the turbine concrete pour as an episode of Bake Off, complete with a flying strawberry!

A stunning film celebrating the completion of the wind farm was made by Bafta Cymru-winning local cameraman, Mike Harrison.
