Storm Darragh has caused a significant amount of visible damage to a solar farm which was commissioned this year on the Welsh Isle of Anglesey.

The Porth Wen Solar Farm in the north Anglesey is owned by EDF Renewables and can create 49.99MW to power 9,500 households. Construction of the farm began in early 2022 with commissioning taking place this year.

EDF Renewables confirmed to NCE that the solar farm had sustained damage, which was currently being assessed, and that it was currently conducting a clean up. It further stated repair work and replacement of the damaged panels was expected to last into early 2025.

Meaning electricity being generated at the farm was halted until at least then. An EDF Renewables UK spokesperson said: “Unfortunately our Porth Wen Solar Farm has sustained damage during Storm Darragh.

“We are currently assessing the extent of the damage and conducting a controlled clean up.
