Alleston Solar Farm
A solar energy development of around 30MW in Pembrokeshire
We have created this website to provide information about our emerging proposals and to enable people to contact us with questions and feedback.
This webpage will be kept updated as the project develops to keep you informed and to hear your views and ideas.
About Alleston Solar Farm
We are developing proposals for 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.
Statutory Consultation
Following early engagement on our emerging proposals for Alleston Solar Farm last year, and the completion of site investigations and surveys, we are carrying out the statutory consultation on our detailed proposals from 8 October – 19 November 2024.
Members of the project team will be available to discuss the project at the consultation events:
- 1pm to 6pm on Tuesday 22 October 2024 at Pembroke Town Hall, Main Street (SA71 4JS)
- 12pm to 4.30pm on Wednesday 23 October 2024 at Lamphey Village Hall (SA71 5PB)
The deadline for comments is midnight on Tuesday 19 November 2024.
Following the statutory consultation, the proposals will be finalised and a Development of National Significance (DNS) application will be submitted to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) for examination before being determined by Welsh Government Ministers.
