Energy Park: Residents Views Sought in Consultation on Mynydd Ty Talwyn Energy Park
Galileo Empower is developing proposals for Mynydd Ty-talwyn Energy Park north of Cefn Cribwr and Kenfig Hill.
It held early-stage consultations on the proposals in Autumn 2023 which have helped shape the latest version of the plans.
The company have revised it proposals following feedback from local residents and as a result of site surveys and studies.
Galileo Energy are hosting three in-person consultation events, where you can see how the project has developed, view the draft planning application, meet the project team and share your feedback:

Llangynwyd Village Hall, CF34 9SW: 30th April 2025, 11:30am – 2:30pm
Coytrahen Community Centre, CF32 0EB: 30th April 2025, 4:30pm – 8:30pm
The proposals now include:
- 6 wind turbines with a maximum height to blade tip of 200m, generating 43 Megawatts (MW) of energy;
- 55MW of ground mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panels; and
- 50MW of battery energy storage system (BESS).
Galileo Empower has stated that: “As well as making a significant contribution to decarbonisation of our electricity system, we are committed to delivering substantial benefits to local communities via community wealth funds, local employment and business opportunities, a community share in the Energy Park and the opportunity for reduced energy bills for those living closest to the project.”
This will be the final consultation before Galileo Empower submit its plans to the Planning and Environmental Decisions Wales (PEDW) at Welsh Government later this year.
