We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their feedback. Engaging with the local community has been invaluable, and your comments are helping to shape our next steps. We’re now reviewing all the feedback before submitting our planning application to Denbighshire County Council.

Proposal

The Ynni Celyn Energy Storage site will incorporate:

• the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

• a transmission connected substation
• large areas of new tree planting to support local wildlife and help screen the site, and

The site is 75 acres in size, of which 24 acres would be developed for battery storage development and transmission substation.

We are committed to supporting our communities through a Community Energy Transition Foundation, which invests in those areas where we have operational sites. The Foundation receives funding from each site, proportionate to its size.

We expect this project, if approved, could contribute around £1 million each year to the local areas.

We are at an early stage in our design and welcome the views of the local community on our plans as part of this consultation. Your feedback will then be considered, alongside our environmental assessments, and will help to shape our plans. This information will assist in informing the final proposal for our planning application, which will be submitted to Denbighshire County Council later this year.

Further details of our proposals, and a virtual showroom of our public exhibition, are available in the document library below.
