The government granted approval to build what will be Britain’s biggest wind farm, with the capability to generate electricity for 40,000 homes.
The $51-million development in Cefn Croes, Wales, will have 39 wind-powered turbines.
Energy Minister Brian Wilson said he approved the farm after a “thorough consideration” of issues raised by supporters and foes.
The government has pledged to have 10% of Britain’s electricity supplied from renewable sources by 2010.
