Motion NDM6735 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes Plaid Cymru’s long-standing proposal for establishing a publicly owned energy company, Ynni Cymru.

2. Notes the Welsh Labour party’s 2017 manifesto commitment to support 'the creation of publicly owned, locally accountable energy companies and cooperatives to rival existing private energy suppliers, with at least one in every region'.

3. Notes the work carried out with stakeholders by Welsh Government indicated we should not pursue a Wales wide energy supply company, but continue to explore other mechanisms of delivering benefits to Wales in line with Welsh Government’s stated priorities and targets.

4. Recognises the contribution of Welsh Government-funded programmes, such as Warm Homes, Nest and Arbed, Local Energy, Green Growth Wales and the Smart Living programme creating locally owned energy businesses as part of the transition to a low carbon economy.
