Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:50 pm on 26 September 2017.
I’m really pleased to see this statement today by you, Cabinet Secretary, and I’m really pleased to see the continued support with innovation in marine energy projects, as something that I’ve been involved in for a very long time. I’m not going to repeat—I’m sure you’ll all be pleased—all that’s gone before, but I will point to one area of particular interest for me, and that is that, as part of the £1.3 billion Swansea bay city region deal signed earlier this year, £76 million has been pledged for the Pembroke Dock marine project. That will be used to develop innovation in offshore renewable marine energy technology, and that project itself has four pillars. I’m hoping that will bring some skills and innovation and training into the area that I both live in and represent. So, I’m wondering if you have any further information regarding that particular scheme in terms of when it might start and how many opportunities might be available.
