A 31-mile electricity pylon line planned to stretch from Mid Wales into Shropshire will be discussed at a public meeting later this month.

Green GEN Cymru wants to build the 'Vyrnwy-Frankton' line, made up of 27-metre high 'steel lattice pylons' from the 'Llyn Lort Energy Park' to the west of Llanfair Caereinion in Powys, to Frankton near Oswestry.

According to Green GEN Cymru the 132kv line would provide a way to export energy from the Llyn Lort wind farm and others in Mid Wales.The wind farm would be made up of 25, 220m tall wind turbines, generating 165MW energy – enough to power 144,000 homes.A decision on the wind farm, and the Welsh section of the power line will not be taken by Powys Councillors, and will instead be decided by Welsh Government ministers in Cardiff.
