A clean energy developer is set to consult on a new scheme in Denbighshire.

NatPower will be consulting on a proposal for the 1GW Ynni Celyn scheme.

The plans to build a new battery energy storage scheme (BESS) are for a 30-hectare site between Gwyddelwern and Clawdd Poncen, Corwen.

A public exhibition of the plans will be held at Corwen Sports Pavilion, War Memorial Park, on November 25 and 26.

This will allow the community to see the proposal and provide feedback before a planning application is submitted to Denbighshire County Council.

John Sturman, managing director at NatPower, said: "Battery storage will play an essential role in delivering clean, secure and affordable energy for the UK.

"We are looking forward to meeting with the local community and talking them through our plans.

"I would encourage everyone to come along and have their say, so we can enhance the proposals further."

As more renewable energy enters the grid, battery storage systems are needed to store energy for use during times of peak demand or when renewable power isn't available.

This helps ensure the resilience of the grid as renewable energy sources become a more prominent part of the UK's energy mix.

The exhibition will also provide details of NatPower's Community Energy Transition Foundation, an independent charity aimed at supporting communities in becoming the most sustainable in the UK.

If the project is given the go-ahead, the foundation will invest in initiatives that support the transition to net zero.

The foundation aims to ensure communities benefit from the delivery of national infrastructure.

Mr Sturman said: "The NatPower team will be on hand to answer questions and explain the essential role that battery storage will play in clean energy delivery.

"We will also be discussing our Community Energy Transition Foundation, which will invest in local initiatives to create market-leading sustainable living for the local community.

"We are keen to hear about what your community would like to see to become more sustainable."

The public consultation will take place on November 25 from 3pm to 7pm and November 26 from 10am to 2pm.
