The Welsh government has accused Westminster of holding the nation back from achieving its renewables goals by removing price support for wind and solar.
The Welsh cabinet secretary for environment and rural affairs Lesley Griffiths said the UK policy uncertainty is “driving the market away from the lowest cost renewable sources and undermining investor confidence in renewable energy in Wales”.
“I am keen to move this agenda forward so Wales benefits from this change rather than being left behind,” she added.
Griffiths told the Welsh Assembly how Cardiff will use its devolved powers to ensure Wales become nation renowned for clean energy.
“Wales has huge potential to host projects which generate energy on a large scale for the UK and can bring significant benefits.”
