Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:32 pm on 14 May 2019.
First Minister, I recently chaired a policy forum. Tidal Lagoon Power were there and they spoke about the work that they're doing to encourage businesses to buy energy from them in order to provide a future for the lagoon project. Welsh Government's national procurement service states that it collaborates with public organisations to use collective buying power to get a good deal for Wales, whether it's supply teachers, fuel, computers or sandwiches. Now, we know that the strike price is a question that has threatened this project. So, how can the work done on the national procurement service here on collective buying help make the case to organisations that it could be good value to buy energy from a tidal energy source like the Swansea bay tidal lagoon?
