· COMMUNITY WIND TURBINE ·
After 13 years of hard work and determination, we finally got planning permission to put up a community wind turbine at Trefawr Farm, near Llanfyrnach. In October 2011, that vision became a reality with the installation of a 700kW turbine – generating clean energy right here in Pembrokeshire.
Crymych, where CARE is based, is one of the areas in Wales most at risk of fuel poverty. The income from selling this clean electricity will help us tackle that by supporting community spaces, helping households cut their carbon footprint, and backing local green enterprises. We’re also running training to build land-based skills so our communities can be more resilient in a changing climate.

AS OF THE VERY END OF 2022, THE TURBINE HAD PRODUCED A TOTAL OF 5,325,907 KWH – THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO THE ANNUAL CONSUMPTION OF APPROXIMATELY 1,400 HOMES.
Daniel Blackburn was integral to setting up the wind turbine. Once the funding was secured, Daniel and Holly carried the project forward, doing the work needed to get the turbine up and spinning.
Daniel passed away in the summer of 2025. His legacy lives on in this wind turbine, as well as in the many other projects he contributed to over the years.
Read here for an overview of the work Daniel helped bring to this area.
