About Alleston Solar Farm

We are proposing a solar farm on approximately 100ha (247 acres) of agricultural land between Lamphey and Pembroke, close to the Pembroke Dock-Carmarthen railway line

Solar power is a crucial technology to help overcome our energy security and climate challenges. If consented, the solar farm would contribute to the delivery of the UK, Welsh Government and Pembrokeshire County Council policy objectives, diversify the energy mix, and facilitate the transition to low carbon energy, whilst decreasing the dependency on fossil fuels. 

The proposed Alleston Solar Farm has potential for export of around 30MW at peak capacity, powering up to 14,000 Welsh homes every year (based on average Welsh domestic consumption of 3,325kWh per year). 
 
The project will deliver a Community Benefit Fund over the course of its 40-year lifetime to benefit local projects and initiatives including education, energy efficiency, environmental improvements, and improved community facilities. 

Consultation

We have worked to engage with local communities and residents throughout the development of our project. We held early engagement consultation in Pembroke, Pembroke Dock and Lamphey in Autumn 2023. In October and November 2024, we held statutory pre-application consultant events in Pembroke and Lampey.

Submission

Our application for Alleston Solar Farm was submitted to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) in December 2024.  Following full validation of our application, PEDW will carry out further consultation. Following PEDW’s consultation and examination, the application will be determined by Welsh Ministers.

Our full, final application and details of how to respond to PEDW will be made available on this website and on the Welsh Government's Planning Portal (reference: DNS CAS-03072-D7X6N7).
