A unique project harnessing natural energy, conceived, developed and owned by part of the local farming community.


Welcome to the fascinating story of the Wind Farmers
Welcome to the web site of Ail Wynt a new wind farm project on the hills near Llanrwst in North Wales. Ail Wynt is the proposed new development which builds on the success of the existing award winning scheme, Cwmni Gwynt Teg. Both projects are unique because they have been conceived, developed and owned by a co-operative of three local farming families.

Initiated in response to falling income from hill sheep farming, Cwmni Gwynt Teg won the prestigious Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy in June 2003. A major factor in its success was the sensitivity that the co-operative has shown towards community and environmental issues. This web site is designed to provide more information about these issues, and the many other fascinating aspects of both projects.

The aim of the project
To develop wind power for electricity generation in a way that retains the economic benefit within the local community.
