Bears Down, Trevilledor Cross, Cornwall

Installation type: wind farm repowering

Installation size: 22.5 MW

CleanEarth are proposing the repowering of Bears Down Wind Farm with five turbines up to 150m in height, and associated infrastructure, located on land at Bears Down, Trevilledor Cross.

The proposed repowering is expected to have an annual generation of over 71 GWh, sufficient to power over 14,000 Cornish homes. The carbon savings of the project are just over 15,000 tonnes of carbon annually with a predicted lifetime saving of nearly 530,000 tonnes – making a significant contribution to Cornwall’s carbon reduction targets in the pursuit of carbon neutrality by 2030.

The proposed site falls along the border of St Ervan and St Mawgan-in-Pydar parishes. The project will direct an annual contribution fund to aid local projects and causes in the surrounding community.

This proposal is now open for public comment and will remain so for a period of 21 days. Supporting information about the proposed repowering can be found below, along with a feedback questionnaire and information about collaborative benefits and community investment opportunities.

A public consultation will be held on Wednesday 29 November 2023 from 3pm to 7pm at St Eval Community Centre, Orion Drive, St Eval. Comments can be submitted through the online feedback questionnaire.

Any further enquiries can be made by phone on 01208 895576, by email to bearsdown@cleanearthenergy.com or by using the form below.
