Nant y caws, Camarthen – EWT 500kW Wind Turbine

CWM Environmental operates a purpose-built household and commercial waste management facility at Nant y Caws, in the heart of West Wales. CWM pride themselves on sustainability and their role in decreasing Carmarthenshire’s environmental footprint. In 2013, CWM Environmental decided they wanted to install renewable energy onto the site to further reduce the environmental impact of their operations. The EWT 500kW wind turbine was installed at CWM Environmental’s Nant y caws site in 2014 by Infinite.

Infinite gained the planning consent for the wind turbine and sourced the EWT 500kW turbine that best suited the needs of the site and project managed its installation. The wind turbine connects via a private wire to directly power CWM Environmental’s material recycling facilities (MRFs) and headquarters. Any surplus energy generated by the turbine is exported to the national grid.

The project was financed by Albion Capital, a ‘specialist venture capital investor that backs visionary founders and technologies’. Albion Capital and Infinite have had an ongoing project partnership since the development of their first project together in 2010.

CWM Environmental operates recycling centres across Carmarthenshire and is committed to recycling as much material as possible. In 2023, their recycling centres diverted 21,506 tonnes of waste from landfill. After a fire in 2021 that devastated the Nant y caws recycling facility, CWM Environmental started rebuilding a larger facility that will continue to reduce their carbon emissions.
