Candwr Solar Farm
Located on land approximately 5km north-east of Newport, 500m east of Ponthir and 1.4km north of Caerleon, Candwr Solar Farm will comprise the construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of a grid connected solar farm facility.
The solar farm would have the capacity to generate up to 46 MW of electricity, providing green renewable energy to the Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Court Farm Treatment Works.

We are in the early stages of the development of Candwr Solar Farm. Over the coming months, we will be consulting with the local community to get your views and ensure that our proposals are sensitive to the local area and environment.
Find out more about the consultation and planning process on our Process page.
Solar provides a low-carbon, renewable energy source that is cheaper and faster to deploy than alternatives. We will also be providing enhancements to biodiversity on site, and a community benefits package as part of our proposals.
