Thrive has acquired the rights to build Abergorki wind farm in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales. Construction of the proposed 12.6MW, three-turbine project is expected to start in summer 2025, with commissioning planned for winter 2026. Once operational, it will be capable of generating up to 40 GWh of clean electricity per year, the equivalent of powering 12,349 average UK homes.

Abergorki was one of 21 onshore wind projects to secure a Contract for Difference in Allocation Round 6 (AR6) of the UK Government’s main mechanism for providing price stability to low carbon electricity generation.

The site lies on Mynydd Maerdy, above the Rhondda Valleys, and is located within an area of significant wind farm development with both operational and consented wind farms in close proximity.
