First, I need to declare an interest as an investor in Awel, which is a social enterprise delivering onshore wind energy in the Amman valley. I just want to record that last month was the first month when we actually delivered more solar energy across the UK than coal energy, and therefore we are at a crossroads now. All the energy companies are beginning to wake up to that they need to change their models, and they are beginning to invest in renewables. The oil companies are also starting to invest in renewables. I’m really concerned that Wales could not seize the opportunity and get left behind rather than ensuring that we have locally-owned renewable energy. Obviously, tidal energy is for the big boys and girls—that is huge capital investment—but we could have locally-generated energy schemes across all our communities if only we can seize the moment. We need to support local communities to see this as an advantage, and we also do need to change our relationship with the grid so that we don’t have the energy distributors killing local community projects dead by demanding millions of pounds to connect them to the grid. We have to be able to sell that energy locally rather than sending it off somewhere to the national grid.

I also agree with Llyr Gruffydd that we must have another look at Part L of the housing regulations. There’s no point in building new housing that we then need to retrofit in order to make those efficiency gains that we need to do in all our existing properties anyway. We need to be grasping the opportunities that have come from the fact that new players are really interested in this and there is a market for everything that Wales could produce with all the wonderful, abundant resources we have.
