Right here on our solar farm, something pretty special has been growing 🌸

Petallica Flower Farm is more than just a flower business. It’s a thriving community space rooted in sustainability.
From seasonal markets and creative workshops to weddings, a women’s shed, and a sensory garden, it’s become a hub for connection, wellbeing and local creativity.

What makes this partnership even more meaningful is that Petallica is powered directly by the renewable energy generated on-site.
Through our community solar scheme, we supply locally produced electricity straight to the farm.
Supporting everything from their drying room and cold storage to lighting across the site.

It’s a great example of how locally generated energy can directly support local businesses.
Reducing carbon impact while helping projects like Petallica grow and give back to the community.

At Gower Electric Company, this is exactly what we’re about: keeping energy local, supporting community-led initiatives, and making renewable power work for the people and places around us.

If you haven’t visited yet, keep an eye out for Petallica’s monthly markets, workshops, and events.

The partnership between Gower Electric and The Gower Heritage Centre.

The Gower Heritage Centre is based around a 12 th century water mill and focuses on preserving the rich culture of the Gower Peninsula, Gower Electric CIC operates the very latest solar renewable energy at the centres farm in Dunvant and the partnership seeks to promote the whole concept of how renewable energy schemes can help us take care of the planet and community as well as support the maintenance of the beautiful peninsula for the future.

The reason that the two establishments are so connected is because of Roy Church, the director of Gower Electric and a Trustee of The Heritage Centre. In 2012 Roy met up with Gower Power to discuss the feasibility of establishing a community-owned solar park on 4 acres of the farmland. A joint venture, now called Gower Regeneration Ltd, was set up to obtain planning and finance to construct a 1 MWH solar park with 3568 solar panels – enough to power approx. 300 homes.

Initially, the solar farm was funded by the Welsh Government and Development Bank of Wales, and a group of partners set up the project as a community solar farm. Following construction and getting the site operational, the loans were replaced by direct shareholder investment through a crowdfunding scheme. The Solar Scheme is currently operated as a Community Benefit Society by Gower Regeneration Limited www.regengower.co.uk.
