In June 2014 it was reported that the Vale of Glamorgan Council had ruled that there was no need for an extensive environmental assessment of a solar farm planned by ABP for an unused part of the dock. The solar farm would be built on two brownfield sites and would cover a 51 acres (21 ha). Power would be delivered direct to businesses in and around the port, with the surplus fed into the grid. The £5M solar farm was in fact constructed and the 20-acre site was operational by August 2015 and can provide 4.5MWh of electricity.
