Situated at the coast of Mid Wales around the estuary of the Afon Dyfi, this biosphere reserve is representative of salt marshes, estuarine systems, farmland, woodland and moorland in the west of the United Kingdom. Biosffer Dyfi Biosphere consists of the catchment of the river Dyfi plus the town of Aberystwyth.
Bro Dyfi Community Renewables Ltd (BDCR) is a community owned renewable energy company. It aims to promote wind and other renewable energy projects that benefit local people and that are subject to a significant degree of local control.

Wind energy for the community
BDCR owns two wind turbines near Machynlleth: a 75kW Vestas and a 500kW Nordtank.
In April 2003 Photo Gallery, a tributary of the Dyfi. Residents of Pantperthog village initially conceived the idea for a community-owned wind turbine in October 1999, which led to the installation of the 75kW second-hand Vestas wind turbine, located on the hill above the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT).

Using European funding secured through Mid Wales Energy Agency and ecodyfi, and shareholders’ investments, a second hand Nordtank NTK500/37 (500Case studies Guidebook) wind turbine was acquired and installed on Mynydd Glandulas in 2008. It became operational in 2010.
The benefits of a project designed and delivered at the local level

- The work undertaken in developing the project was carried out by members of the local community;
- Photo Gallery (CAT) and other local suppliers;
- Some of the people involved in the project agreed for some or all of their work on planning and finance to be paid in shares in the project;
- The first project alone brought approximately £55,000 into the local economy (70% of the total project cost);
- The administration and operation and maintenance contracts have been placed locally;
- Local and national shareholders continue to draw share interest payments from the revenue of the electricity generated;
- 58% Photo Gallery, with nearly all the other shareholders being elsewhere in the UK;
- The wind turbine provides an additional demonstration turbine and educational resource for CAT;

While many communities have the organisational and financial skills needed to manage such a project, not many have the technical skills needed to develop it, for example choice of turbine technology, civil engineering needs, the planning application and associated reports (predicted noise, landscape, archaeology etc. impacts). These services will usually have to be bought in, while the project is still at risk, so public funding of such feasibility work is desirable.
The project has received significant publicity and helped raise the profile of the community dimension of wind developments as seen, 例如, in the Technical Advisory Note on renewable energy in Wales. 此外, 学术界和其他社区要么访问该网站或寻求信息，以告知自己的学业或计划.
