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.
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.
Following the initial consultation, we have taken time to examine the feedback we received and made changes to our project, which resulted in the draft application. The feedback from local residents, the Town and Community Councils and other consultees has helped us to design a high quality solar farm which is suitable for the area and landscape.
Next Steps
We intend to submit our planning application to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) in late 2024. Following this, PEDW will carry out further consultation. Our full, final application and details of how to respond to PEDW will be made available on this website. Following PEDW’s consultation and examination, the application will be determined by Welsh Ministers.
