Question
What proportion of railway stations and overhead wires in Wales are currently powered in full by renewable energy, and of this total what proportion are powered from Welsh-based sources?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Transport for Wales have procured 100% renewable energy for all stations and overhead-line electrification for the infrastructure we own, with the contract prioritising Wales generated renewable energy. Rail infrastructure outside of the Core Valley Lines is a matter for the UK Government.
