By pooling their ecological data, renewable energy developers across Wales have given Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales an unprecedented boost in the fight to save one of our most threatened bird species — the curlew.

🌿 Saving Wales’ Curlew: When clean energy and conservation work together ⚡
There are some who would argue that renewable energy and nature recovery are competing causes; at odds with one another.
This story from Wales proves the opposite is true. They’re two sides of the same future.

M-SParc aims to become the first UK science park to become net zero - but grid constraints are restricting it's development. Faced with the cost of covering solar PV connections themselves, expansion has become financially challenging. Another reason why Wales needs a modern grid network.

A quick stop for lunch at M-SParc by Bangor University — a hub of innovation driving clean tech and renewables across Wales.
Collaboration between academia, business and energy is vital to scaling our transition.

Also on the way we looked at some of the transmission lines that connect wind farms to homes in North Wales. As demand for electricity increases in Wales, we will need to upgrade our grid infrastructure across the country in order to unlock the true potential of Wales's renewables.

Next stop: Rhyl Flats offshore wind farm 🌊⚡ — a powerful symbol of Wales’ renewable potential.
Offshore wind is already transforming our energy system, and today we’re connecting the dots between clean transport and clean power.

First checkpoint ✅ Beautiful stop at Llyn Brenig —
We've just passed RWE's Clocaenog Forest Wind Farm and the recently consented Alwen Forest Wind farm. Alwen will be the first large-scale project with local ownership in Wales.
Diolch to our sponsors RenaultUK for our two EVs for this trip!

Starting today Wrexham County Borough Council, we’ll be travelling over 200 electric miles through North Wales, Anglesey and Eryri — proving that Wales is ready to lead the charge to net zero.
Follow our journey across two days and nearly 500 miles of Welsh innovation and collaboration 🤝

We’re off! 🚗⚡ Team Cymru is proud to be taking part in the Greenfleet EV Rally — showcasing Wales’ EV & clean energy potential!
We've already seen how the EV sector is powering up in North Wales - Welsh company CostelloesEV has seen a 40% increase in demand for charging in this region alone.
