Update – February 2025<\/h2>\n
\n

In June 2024, Lightsource bp submitted the Development of National Significance (DNS) application for the Plas Power Solar and Energy Storage Project to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW).<\/p>\n

The proposed Project is classed as a Development of National Significance. This means that Lightsource bp will make an application to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW), which will make a recommendation to Welsh Ministers on whether or not to grant planning permission.<\/p>\n

The application was validated by PEDW in February 2025 and is now available to view on Welsh Government website – \u2018Planning casework\u2019 portal by searching reference number \u2018DNS\/3253253 – Plas Power Estate Solar Farm\u2019.<\/p>\n
