The new Welsh Government has approved its first major offshore wind project.
Section 36 Consent has been granted for the Llŷr Wind Farm, an offshore wind project being developed by Cierco Energy in the Celtic Sea, off the coast of Pembrokeshire.
Llŷr Wind Farm was granted a marine licence from Natural Resources Wales in June and secured the seabed rights in July having signed an agreement for lease with The Crown Estate.
The project will contribute towards Wales’ ambitions for net zero carbon, with around 2,000 jobs expected to be created during the construction phase of the scheme and further skilled jobs once it is complete.
