Taff Ely Wind Farm is one of the first generation of wind farms to be built in the UK. It ‘s located near Bridgend in South Wales, approximately 2km south of the village of Black Mill and 3km west of Tonyrefail. It was constructed in 1993 and was originally owned by Eastern Electric. It was then purchased by National Wind Power in 1998. The turbines were manufactured by Nordtank Energy AS who were taken over by NEG Micon who then maintained the site until RWE npower renewables took it over in 1999. Taff Ely became part of the Beaufort Wind portfolio in 2004 which, in turn, became part of Ventient Energy. Taff Ely ‘s 20 turbines are rated at 450kW, giving the site an installed capacity with electricity.
