How big is Briton Ferry?
Briton Ferry has a recorded installed capacity of 2 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Briton Ferry?
REPD records the operator as Neath Port Talbot Waste Management Co Ltd. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
When was Briton Ferry approved and built?
The application was submitted on 18 April 1996. Permission was granted on 5 June 1996, 2 months later. The site became operational on 1 September 2004, 99 months after consent.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 602.
