Swansea Greener Grid Park latest updates
Construction will stop from the 20 December and recommence on 6th January 2025.
Statkraft has commenced construction at Swansea Greener Grid Park.
Swansea Greener Grid Park will help achieve zero carbon emissions in Wales by increasing the stability of the electricity grid and the amount of renewable energy being delivered to the grid network.
The project will provide an essential service to stabilise the power grid and allow more renewable energy to be transmitted through the network, without relying on coal and gas-fired power stations. This means fewer harmful emissions, and lower bills for consumers, because renewable energy is cheaper. The final plans received unanimous support from Swansea Council in July 2023.
We are taking various steps to minimise disruption to local roads during construction, including speed checks on all our vehicles and regular vehicle cleaning.
We will provide regular updates on construction progress through this website. Get in touch to leave a comment at ukprojects@statkraft.com or call on 0800 772 0668 if you would like any further information.
