DON'T MISS Policy Forum for Wales Keynote Seminar Priorities for energy policy 4 December 2018, Cardiff This seminar will bring together policymakers with key stakeholders to discuss priorities for energy policy in Wales – including major energy projects and supporting the growth of the renewable energy sector. 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. Delegates will also examine the current policy framework for renewable energy and consider strategies that will be required to meet the Welsh Government's target of sourcing 70 per cent of Wales' energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030.
