A Shared Vision for Rural Wales

Future Energy Llanwern is proud to be progressing plans for a utility-scale solar farm of approximately 380 MW on land south of Llanwern Steelworks, near Newport. As a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), the development will deliver enough clean energy to power 108,000 homes—equivalent to the combined household demand of Newport and Monmouthshire, or 8% of all Welsh households.
