Last week I submitted my objection to Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Ltd, subsidiary of Bute Energy Development Ltd, in response to their public consultation on their draft Pylon route alignment for Towy Usk. I also wrote to OFGEM opposing the granting of an Independent Distribution Network Operator License (INDO) to Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited.
In my objection I have addressed concerns about the nature of the proposed operations as outlined in their business model and the financial stability of the applicant.
My opposition is rooted deeply in the multitude of concerns raised by my constituents, which clearly indicates that the proposed developments by Bute Energy / Green-Gen do not meet the aspirations and needs of Mid Wales communities.
Mid Wales is celebrated for its breathtaking natural landscapes, attracting tourists from across the globe. The introduction of large pylons and wind turbines threatens to ruin these scenic views, thereby diminishing their allure and, consequently, their appeal to tourists. Tourism plays a vital role in supporting local income and employment.
Both letters in full are available to be read on my website, however for anyone wishing to see copies please do get in touch with my office.
