Bro Dyfi Community Renewables
Bro Dyfi Community Renewables is a community energy co-operative registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts. We were established in 2001 to develop community-owned renewable energy projects. Our first community owned wind turbine has been running since 2003, using money raised from a share offer. 2007 annual accounts are available here and a report of the AGM for 2007 are available here. BDCR's latest project is to install a 500kW wind turbine on Mynydd Glandulas, the hill above the Centre for Alternative Technology.Check out the photo diary of construction progress here.

Latest News We are now selling our electricity output from the 75kW wind turbine to Good Energy, the 100% green electricity supplier. A power purchase agreement (PPA) has recently been signed that brings us over £100 per MW hr generated, which should we hope in turn improve dividends to shareholders. The turbine is no longer grid connected to CAT, which has its own biomass CHP system. We have therefore connected the turbine to the local grid and have established a 3 year PPA with Good Energy. You can now see live generation figures for this turbine here. Update on the Nordtank 500kW: Manweb have approved the modified cabin design, the manufacturer is making the necessary changes and we are expecting it to be on site in April.
