Welsh Lobby Calls for UK to Speed Up Wales’s Renewable Transition

POWER

Welsh Renewable lobby RenewableUK Cymru is requesting the next UK government to speed up Wales's renewable transition, the lobby said, cited by Renews.biz.

  • Wales must quadruple its wind capacity from onshore to offshore within the next decade to meet rising demand. But only a quarter of its energy mix is met with renewables.
  • “We are not building enough renewable energy projects to meet our growing electricity demand,” Director at RenewableUK Cymru said.
  • "We urge the next UK Government to establish a four nations taskforce, in collaboration with the Welsh Government and industry,” the director added.
  • The next UK general election will take place on 4 July.
