Moel Maelogan, Wind farm on western edge of Mynydd Hiraethog, Wales

Three wind turbines rise from the summit of Moel Maelogan at 424 meters elevation, generating renewable energy for the surrounding region.

The initial construction of three wind turbines in 2002 marked a milestone as the 1000th turbine installation in the United Kingdom wind industry.

Three local farmers established Cwmni Gwynt Teg, meaning Fair Wind Company in Welsh, to transform their agricultural land into renewable energy production.

The wind turbines operate optimally at wind speeds of 14 meters per second and transmit electricity to Llanrwst sub-station 4.5 kilometers away.

Nine additional turbines were added in 2008 with reduced heights compared to the original three, forming a more concentrated energy production area.
