The agenda includes a keynote addresses from Lesley Griffiths AM, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs, Welsh Government and Tonia Antoniazzi MP, Member, House of Commons Welsh Affairs Select Committee. It will be an opportunity to consider the implications for future major energy projects in Wales in light of the UK Government's decision to not support the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project and the announcement of the Wylfa power plant deal.
