We strongly support the development of a viable marine renewable energy industry in Wales, and continue to work with a variety of stakeholders, including UKG, Swansea City Council and Swansea Bay City Region tidal lagoon taskforce to gain a greater understanding of opportunities and environmental impacts of a Tidal Lagoon.

Welsh Government is proactively working with developers interested in deploying floating wind projects off the Welsh coast.  To maximise the opportunities this exciting new sector presents, we have commissioned the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult to assess the supply chain opportunities and grid and ports infrastructure needed to support this industry.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gosod fframwaith polisi cadarnhaol iawn er mwyn annog buddsoddiad newydd mewn ynni adnewyddadwy. Rydym yn cefnogi rhanbarthau i ddatblygu cynlluniau ynni strategol er mwyn diwallu ein hanghenion yn y dyfodol o ran pŵer, gwres a thrafnidiaeth ac rydym yn anelu at greu swyddi a diwydiannau carbon isel y dyfodol.

I meet regularly with the Chair and Chief Executive of NRW.  We discuss many aspects of the environment, some of which cover the south Wales valleys. For example, the Chair is leading the work on the Green Recovery which reaches the whole of Wales.
