Public consultation
Your feedback has been invaluable and has helped inform our planning application, which has now been submitted to Flintshire County Council and includes a document summarising the comments received from the local community.
We are committed to supporting our communities through a Community Energy Transition Foundation, which invests in those areas where we have operational sites. The Foundation receives funding from each site, proportionate to its size.
Further details of our proposals, and a virtual showroom are still available in the document library below and the communication channels will remain monitored.
