Tyrbin Gwynt Fferm Bwlchgwynt – Digwyddiad galw heibio am wybodaeth.
Fe’ch gwahoddir i ddigwyddiad galw heibio i’r cyhoedd a fydd yn rhoi cyfle i chi ddysgu mwy am dyrbin gwynt sengl sy’n cael ei godi ryw 1.5 milltir o Feidrim gan Ynni Cymunedol Cymru.
Cynhelir y digwyddiad yn Neuadd Ieuenctid Meidrim ar 18 Gorffennaf i roi cyfle i drigolion Meidrim, Gelli-wen a’r ardal o amgylch ddysgu mwy am y tyrbin sy’n cael ei adeiladu yn Fferm Bwlchgwynt, Meidrim. Dechreuodd y gwaith o adeiladu’r tyrbin ym mis Mai, ac mae i gael ei gwblhau ym mis Awst.
Mae’r tyrbin yn cael ei ddatblygu gan Ynni Cymunedol Cymru, menter gymdeithasol sy’n ceisio cefnogi cymunedau i ymateb i’r newid yn yr hinsawdd trwy helpu i ddatblygu dull carbon isel o gynhyrchu ynni ar raddfa gymunedol. Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am Ynni Cymunedol Cymru ar gael yn communityenergywales.org.uk
Bydd y tyrbin ar Fferm Bwlchgwynt ym meddiant Cymdeithas Buddiant Cymunedol, sy’n ddarostyngedig i reolau sy’n cwmpasu gwerthoedd democratiaeth, cydraddoldeb, aelodaeth agored, cydweithrediad a chonsyrn am y gymuned. Cynhyrchir y cyfalaf ar gyfer y tyrbin trwy werthu cyfranddaliadau cymunedol, a bydd pobl sy’n prynu’r cyfranddaliadau yn dod yn aelodau o’r gymdeithas ac yn gallu cymryd rhan yng ngweithrediad y gymdeithas ar sail un aelod un bleidlais.
Mae’r digwyddiad ar agor i’r cyhoedd, ac mae croeso i chi alw heibio unrhyw bryd rhwng 5pm ac 8pm. Rydym yn barod i dderbyn ymholiadau e-bost i’r cyfeiriad Jeremy@sharenergy.coop.
Mae Ynni Cymunedol Cymru yn ddiolchgar iawn i Lywodraeth Cymru, Cyllid Cymru a’r Ymddiriedolaeth Arbed Ynni am ddarparu benthyciadau tymor byr sydd wedi golygu bod modd gwneud y gwaith adeiladu. Telir y benthyciadau hyn yn ôl trwy godi cyfalaf o gyfranddaliadau yn y gymdeithas wedi i’r tyrbin gael ei gomisiynu. Bydd pobl sy’n prynu cyfranddaliadau yn cael cyfradd llog deg; defnyddir yr incwm sy’n weddill dros ben hynny i helpu Ynni Cymunedol Cymru i ddarparu mwy o gefnogaeth i gymunedau, a hefyd i greu cronfa gymunedol er budd y cymunedau y bydd y tyrbin yn effeithio fwyaf arnynt.
Bydd y cynnig cyfranddaliadau cymunedol yn cael ei lansio ym mis Medi, ac rydym yn gobeithio y bydd llawer o bobl Meidrim yn cefnogi ein prosiect ac yn dod yn aelodau o’r Gymdeithas.

Community Energy Wales
Bwlchgwynt Farm Wind Turbine – Drop-in information event.
You are invited to a public drop-in event to allow you to find out more about a single wind turbine being built about 1.5 miles from Meidrim by Community Energy Wales.
The event will be held in Meidrim Youth Hall on 18th July to allow residents of Meidrim , Gellywen and the surrounding area to find out more about the turbine that is being constructed at Bwlchgwynt Farm, Meidrim. Construction of the turbine began in May, and is due to be completed in August.
The turbine is being developed by Community Energy Wales, a social enterprise that seeks to support communities to address climate change by helping to develop low carbon energy generation at a community scale. More information about Community Energy Wales can be found at communityenergywales.org.uk
The turbine at Bwlchgwynt Farm will be owned by a Community Benefit Society, governed by rules which encompass values of democracy, equality, open membership, co--operation and concern for community. The capital for the turbine will be raised by selling community shares, people that buy shares will become members of the society and will be able to take part in the running of the society on a one member one vote basis.
The event is open to the public, you are welcome to drop in any time between 5pm and 8pm. We are happy to receive email enquiries on Jeremy@sharenergy.coop.
Community Energy Wales are very grateful to the Welsh Government, Finance Wales and Energy Saving Trust for providing short term loans that have enabled the construction to be carried out. These loans will be replaced by raising capital from shares in the society once the turbine is commissioned. People that buy shares will get a fair rate of interest; surplus income above this will be used to help Community Energy Wales to provide more support to communities, and also to create a community fund to benefit the communities most affected by the turbine.
The community share offer will be launched in September, we hope that many people from Meidrim will support our project and become members of the Society.
