In January 2012, RWE npower renewables submitted a planning application for Neuadd-goch Bank Wind Farm to Powys County Council. The planning application reference is P/2012/0040.

The application is for a wind farm of 9 turbines (each with a maximum tip height of 126 metres) and associated infrastructure, including a small onsite substation, transformers, anemometer mast, new and upgraded access tracks and a temporary construction compound. Subject to planning permission, and any conditions attached by the Local Planning Authority, each turbine could have a capacity of 2-3 megawatts (MW), meaning the wind farm will have an installed capacity of up to 27 MW.
