Questions to the First Minister

Look, at the moment, we are in a position where, actually, a war in Ukraine had an immediate effect on the bills—[Interruption.]—wait a minute—on the bills in our country, and there is something you need to do about that in terms of security of supply. And if you can do security of supply and…

Questions to the First Minister

Prif Weinidog, it's quickly becoming apparent that Labour's general election manifesto was not worth the paper it was written on. We were promised cheaper bills, but the energy price cap went up by 10 per cent last month. The £300 a month cheaper bills claim made by modelling firm Ember is said to…

Questions to the First Minister

…really good example that Morriston Hospital has demonstrated. They've had that using support from the Welsh Government energy service. So, for £5.7 million investment in that solar farm, they are managing to save about £0.5 million a year on bills. But, on top of that, they're saving a thousand…

Questions to the First Minister

Okay. It's interesting that you include Ynni Cymru, and that's great. But we have to recognise that the public is very wary of renewable energy, even though it's much cheaper than gas. So, in my view, the public sector needs to lead the way on demonstrating just how fantastic the benefits are.…

Questions to the First Minister

Following early discussions with UK Ministers, I envisage a very positive relationship with Great British Energy, Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru and our other energy delivery bodies, including Ynni Cymru. They are all trying to see how we can work together as we continue to drive forward renewable energy…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning

That's right, Cabinet Secretary. And, of course, for a long time, we've supported the Welsh Government energy service, which is bringing forward projects like that across the public estate, where you can generate and have direct wires to sources of demand and meet them directly. That is generally…

…well made, but at the same time, when you look at the kinds of projects that we're able to fund through Ynni Cymru, lots of them are small scale, which don't need access to the grid, and provide that local ability to have reliable renewable energy, as well, which is important.

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning

Yes. So, I think one of the things that we have in our favour now is Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru. You know, it's Welsh Government-owned and it does give us the opportunity, when we bring forward these projects, to take a different view of community benefits and to try and set the bar, really, for community…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Great British Energy Bill: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning

We established Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru using the executive powers of Welsh Ministers, so there's nothing in the Bill that would affect that, so, in that sense, we don't see the need to see any specific amendments in that context. But the area of the Bill where we do want to see those discussions around…

…the Welsh Ministers' ability to continue to support' —I apologise for my abuse of the Welsh language— 'Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru using the existing powers available to them.' Have you had such assurances from the Secretary of State for Wales and will the Bill be amended to ensure that this is actually…

…of the way in which the two Governments work together, the way in which Great British Energy works with Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru and so on. But we're not in the position at the moment to provide those answers, because the discussions are at such an early stage.
