Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 24 January 2017.
When I discussed this with National Grid a while back they told me they get paid for what they do whether pylons go over ground or underground, but Ofgem require best value for the customer, and this will ultimately be paid through customer energy bills. Given that best value means quality value as well as price, what dialogue will your Government have with Ofgem, given the concern raised by town and community councils across Anglesey that the pylon option has been chosen ‘on the basis of cost alone’?
