Bears Down Repowering: Planning Permission Granted
Cornwall Council granted planning permission for the repowering of Bears Down Wind Farm (PA23/10324) on 2 September 2026.
The consented scheme comprises four turbines of up to 150m in height, with associated infrastructure, on land at Bears Down, Trevilledor Cross, on the border of St Ervan and St Mawgan-in-Pydar parishes.
Once operational, the project is expected to:
- Generate over 68 GWh of renewable electricity a year, more than 250% of the output of the existing turbines
- Power over 15,000 Cornish homes
- Save just over 15,700 tonnes of carbon a year, nearly 550,000 tonnes over its lifetime
The project will also provide an annual community fund to support local projects and causes.
