Vattenfall AB, Sweden’s biggest utility, won approval from the U.K. government to build the largest onshore wind farm in Wales.
The 299-megawatt Pen Y Cymoedd project in South Wales will produce enough electricity to power 206,000 homes, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said today in an e-mailed statement. About 300 million pounds ($484 million) of capital expenditure will be needed for the 76-turbine farm, Vattenfall said in a statement.
