The British government has granted approval to build what will be the country's largest wind farm with the capability to generate electricity for 40,000 homes. The 35-million pound (US$51.0 million) development at Cefn Croes, Wales, will have 39 three-bladed, wind-powered turbines, with a working life of up to 30 years. Work on the wind farm will begin this summer and will take more than a year to complete.
Energy Minister Brian Wilson said he granted approval for the farm in the Cambrian mountains after a "thorough consideration" of representations both for and against the project.
