Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Gallai'r model a bennwyd ar gyfer GB Energy fod yn destun pryder o ran ei ryngweithiad ag Ynni Cymru, oherwydd, yn y bôn, yr hyn y gallem ei gael yma yw menter cyllid preifat ar gyfer y sector ynni adnewyddadwy. Felly, mae hyn yn rhywbeth y mae angen inni…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg
Diolch, Lywydd. Dros y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf, mae Cyngor ar Bopeth Cymru wedi darparu mwy o gymorth gyda dyledion ynni a chymorth argyfwng nag ar unrhyw adeg arall yn ystod y pum mlynedd diwethaf. Mae llawer wedi'i wneud yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf o…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg: Tata Steel
Rwy'n croesawu'r newyddion am Tata yn tynnu ei fygythiad yn ôl i gau'r ffwrneisi chwyth hyn yn gynnar. Pe byddai'r penderfyniad wedi mynd rhagddo, fe fyddai hi wedi bod yn drychinebus. Rwy'n dymuno cyfeirio hefyd at rywbeth a ddywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet…

Dadl ar Gynnig Deddfwriaethol gan Aelod: Bil Buddion Ynni Cymunedol
Mae hon, wrth gwrs, yn ddadl bwysig ac yn un i'w chroesawu, ac mae arnaf ofn fod rhywfaint o thema'n dod i'r amlwg ar feinciau Plaid Cymru wrth drafod hyn yng nghyd-destun hanes. Oherwydd dyma yw hanes Cymru, ynte, echdynnu elw o’n cymunedau, ac mae’r un peth…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I have two other questions, Chair, but I'll hand back to you because I'm conscious of time.

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
If we're going to rely on the future generations Act, then, it's fair to say that it needs to be toughened up a bit and given some teeth, because I think we can all point to examples in our own areas where local authorities have said stuff like, 'The LDP…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
One thing that we have discussed as a committee is what's happening in Scotland at the moment with their just transition commission. Is that something the Welsh Government has considered as a way of sort of monitoring—having that independent voice that…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Yes, and the size of Wales actually gives us a good advantage in being able to link up a lot of these thing very easily.

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Uncertainty—the uncertainty around, well, where do they take new projects, and where do they go in this whole green skills agenda and not being clear on what that means. So, how do we get to that point where they understand exactly what's expected from them…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think the focus on skills is the right focus, clearly, and I've been very supportive of the idea around that sort of skills audit—the skills that we're going to need in the economy, but also what our current FE institutions are also offering in terms of…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think, actually, the example of the need for more welders is quite important, especially in the context now of where we look at the Celtic sea, where offshore wind is going to be pushed out from Port Talbot, and in the context of what's…

Because one of the concerns that I have now is that we've fallen behind because of this general election. Of course, that was after we had the commitment that the transition board wouldn't be affected by the general election—

When we come to the general election result, will one of the first calls you'll be making be to get that transition board back up and running?

Craffu cyffredinol ar waith Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Okay. Thinking about the transition board—because I know we're tight on time, Chair—both you and I were on the same transition board where we agreed the priorities for going forward. How do you see the Welsh Government getting involved in those priorities…

Well, I'd worry it'd be a bit too late then. The reason I'm asking these questions as well is because we've seen Tata show its true colours, if we're going to be totally honest, over the last couple of months. We've had them threaten to reduce redundancy…

So, what is the backstop is what I'm trying to get at here, then? If those negotiations don't go well for the potential incoming Labour Government, what is the backstop?

Well, we've talked about nationalisation as being an opportunity to buy time for a just transition, because what we have right now is not a just transition, is it?

Nationalisation?

I'm finding it difficult to understand why there's a reluctance to have on the table nationalisation as a clear option, and I say that because, in negotiations, you need a carrot and you need a stick. The carrot in this scenario would be that £3 billion plan…

So, what happens if those conversations take place and Tata still don't change their position? Would you support a move by the UK Government to nationalise the site?

Craffu cyffredinol ar waith Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
With respect, there's a commitment of £3 billion but no specific detail around the site in Port Talbot.

To be fair to Tata, though, they have to deal in absolutes here, don't they?

Craffu cyffredinol ar waith Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
So, do you think that could be down to not really being sure what is on offer if, say, a Labour Government came into power? We know that there's a carrot there, but the carrot is still very much in the ground, isn't it? We know there's a £3 billion plan put…

So, you've been clear about Tata not making irreversible decisions before the general election. How receptive have they been to that?
