Home Farm

CENIN's Home Farm is a place for nature to intertwine with renewable energy.

In February 2017, CENIN completed construction of Home Farm 3MW Solar Farm at The Drope, Western Cardiff. 

An area of outstanding conservation the remodelling of the Farm on the ponds and woodland areas has increased biodiversity and is an example of the great use of land and the natural environment.
