ππ Exciting green energy news! Dare Valley Country Park in the Cynon Valley is set to unleash a hydroelectric power scheme that could soon get the green light from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council. This eco-friendly project, involving a 50kW micro-hydroelectric system, aims to power both the park’s visitor centre and hotel, helping to meet Walesβ ambitious renewable energy goals. π€β»οΈ

Whatβs in store? Preparations to revamp the existing weir and establish a powerhouse with all the high-tech gear: turbines, an electrical generator, and more. Expect the underground magic to bring life to this eco venture without spoiling the park’s stunning views! π³β¨

Planning officals are all for it, noting that the endeavour is refreshingly modest and wonβt disrupt the surrounding residential area. With no public objections, the project’s on track to bring cleaner energy and a brighter, greener future. ππ

Keep your eyes peeled this September as Dare Valley stands on the brink of an energy evolution, paving the way for a sustainable future in the Cynon Valley! π‘π
