James (Swansea West) To propose that the
National Assembly for Wales: 1. Notes the 2017 Energy
Generation in Wales Report, published on 13 November 2018. 2. Notes that, in
order to deliver the 80 per cent carbon emissions reduction target in the
Environment (Wales) Act 2016, there is an urgent need to decarbonise the energy
system in Wales by: a) taking forward
regional, whole energy system planning to support a low carbon economy; b) recognising the
potential for a range of energy generation technologies, and the need for smart
solutions to balance energy generation with demand; c) accelerating
deployment of low carbon energy development, where it provides benefit to
Wales, recognising the current difficult investment climate; and d) further
developing the grid in Wales as part of place based plans. Supporting Documents Energy

Millar (Clwyd West) Add as new point at end of motion: Recognises the importance of securing
community support when planning large-scale renewable energy projects and
regrets the Cabinet Secretary’s intervention regarding the Hendy Wind Farm
