SPOTLIGHT ON WALES


RENEWABLE PROJECT GROWTH The renewable industry is growing and by the end of 2012 there were over 36,000 operational renewable projects in Wales, ranging from large scale offshore wind developments to single solar panels on domestic properties.


Together these projects contribute approximately 18% of the total electricity consumed in Wales – and these numbers continue to rise. This year RWE Innogy’s Gwynt y Môr offshore wind farm, off the coast of North Wales will become fully operational, with 160 turbines producing electricity for the equivalent of 400,000 homes.


SUSTAINABLE FUTURE I believe that in Wales we are clearly demonstrating how by working in partnerships with the wind industry, local businesses and communities we are already delivering our commitments. There is still so much potential for the wind industry to help secure a wealthier, more resilient and sustainable future for Wales.


Recent research concluded that, if 2,000MW of capacity could be developed by 2025, this would deliver up to £2bn to the Welsh economy and support over 2,000 jobs for the lifetime of the projects. We must not forget however that our approach to the energy transition is long- term and must always be responsive to change, whether that is technological, environmental, social or economic.
