THE Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales will deliver a key speech on Wales’ energy policy today.

The Energy Policy in Wales summit, which is being held at the Angel Hotel in Cardiff, will discuss the future of energy in Wales, including wind, solar and marine power generation.

Baroness Randerson said: “Energy drives our economy and our way of life. If we cannot keep the lights on, keep the computers running, and keep our homes and offices warm, little else matters.

“Without a reliable energy supply for the future, our efforts to meet legally binding targets to address climate change, or keep costs under control, will become much less important.”

The speech will highlight the importance of change and the opportunities this presents for Wales, along with the need for more collaboration between the government and private sector.

Baroness Randerson added: “From small scale, community based renewables to Wylfa Newydd and tidal lagoons, I want Wales, once again, to be a world leader in energy.”
