Residents can now have their say about plans for overhead lines from Llangurig to Cefn Coch.

Green Gen Cymru has announced that a period of non-statutory consultation started on last week (November 5) and runs until Tuesday, December 17.

Public drop-in events will be held from 2pm and 7pm at Trefeglwys Memorial Hall on Tuesday (November 19) and at Llangurig Community Centre on Wednesday (November 20).

An event was held at Cefn Coch Inn from 2pm and 7pm on Thursday (November 14).

Morris Marshall & Poole said: “There is opportunity to provide feedback on the project and potential to change pole locations at this stage.

“If you’d like one of our agents to assist you, Green GEN Cymru will reimburse reasonably incurred fees.

“For further information please call our Rural Office on 01938 552 371.”

Rhiwlas Green Energy Network (Rhiwlas GEN) is a new 132kV (132,000 volt) overhead line, approximately (35km in length) supported on wood poles that will run between Rhiwlas Energy Park near Llangurig and a new substation near Cefn Coch, Llanfair Caereinion. The proposed substation will be part of Green GEN Cymru’s Vyrnwy-Frankton connection project.

Rhiwlas GEN will also consist of a new 33kV underground cable route of approximately 3km long, to connect the proposed Banc Du and Rhiwlas Energy Parks.

More information on the stage two consultation can be found online at www.rhiwlasgen.wales including the pole spotting locations.
