Q2 Andrew Griffith Con Arundel and South Downs
Climate Wales
Context

The Prime Minister outlined plans to invest in hydrogen, green energy, and electric mobility across the UK. The question asks if these opportunities should particularly benefit Wales.

Question

Does the Minister agree that while it is an opportunity for the whole United Kingdom, we should particularly put Wales at the heart of that green revolution?

Answer from David Davies

I am very happy to agree with that. The Prime Minister's commitment last week was a game changer, quadrupling offshore wind energy by 2030, doubling the amount of support for renewables projects and providing £160 million to support infrastructure and one gigawatt of new floating wind projects.
