Swindon-based Innogy UK Renewables (www.innogy.com) has been awarded an option to survey land at Alwen Forest near Ruthin before making a planning application for a wind farm on Welsh Water land.

National Resources Wales says that Innogy’s bid features a strong community element, thanks to its collaboration with Community Energy Wales (focusing on shared ownership of the project).

They have submitted a tender bid for the development of a wind farm with between nine and 11 turbines.
