Don't Break The Heart of Wales
Caru Teifi is a Community Action Group based in Cellan and Llanfair Clydogau in Ceredigion. We formed in March 2024 to oppose the industrialisation of The Cambrian Mountains by Green Gen’s 52km Towy Teifi Pylon Line proposal and Bute’s Lan Fawr Energy Park along with other associated large-scale wind farms.
Whilst we acknowledge the need to address the climate crisis, we believe that the potential damage to the rural areas of Mid/West Wales, our environment and our economy is too high a price to pay. We believe these industrial developments are unnecessary and inappropriate for the Cambrian Mountains. These areas are environmentally sensitive and depend on farming and tourism for economic survival.
Wales has the potential to achieve its net zero targets and have surplus energy to export. This goal could be achieved by developing more offshore wind farms, such as expanding an existing wind farm located 10.5 km off the coast of North Wales or by establishing a floating wind farm in the Celtic Sea. The need for the Klondike gold rush that is currently taking place in our rural communities would be eliminated.
No. The Power generated from this scheme is not for the benefit of Wales – it is for export.
IMPORTANT - there is an active consultation for the combined Bryn Rhudd and Lan Fawr proposals.
Additionally, a little further away, but relevant to us, the planning application for Nant Mithil is now live.

The proposal for Radnor Forest has much in common with the two above. This is the final chance to send feedback about this critical and destructive development, please see the Re-Think page for guidance about writing to PEDW.
