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. 

We believe the site has potential for export up to 49MW at peak capacity, powering up to 15,000 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. 

Early Engagement

On 29 and 30 November 2023, we visited Pembroke, Lamphey and Pembroke Dock to present our proposals and hear your feedback. These are the materials that were on display at the exhibition. These will remain online in the project document section of the website throughout the planning process. 

The full size Constraints Map can be downloaded here.

Feedback

You can provide feedback on the project through the Get In Touch page or contact us by email at UKprojects@statkraft.com, by post at FREEPOST Statkraft or by phone on 0800 772 0668.

In early 2024, we will provide a report on the feedback that we've received. At our exhibitions in Spring 2024, we will show how we have used your feedback to refine our proposals.
