In context: how this plant compares

At 6 MW, Llynfi Afan Renewable Energy Park is below the median wind plant in United Kingdom (10 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Its current lifecycle status is “Shelved” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
