Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:17 pm on 31 January 2017.
Very much so, and you’ve made that very, very clear. This is a project that does not just deliver green energy beyond our own lifetimes, which is not something we’re used to predicting in politics, but that’s the reality of it, it’s also a project that has the potential to create at least 1,300 jobs, particularly in the Neath Port Talbot area, in the maintenance and manufacturing of the kit that’s required to generate the energy. I hope we can get to a position where the marine licensing issue is dealt with, where the strike price is agreed and we can move forward with a project that can only be of benefit to the people of Wales.
