I agree with what the Member said about the importance of sustainable energy being available. Through creating a system for the future that depends on renewable and sustainable energy, we could see a future where energy costs can be affordable for businesses and for local people too. We have an ambition as a Government to increase the percentage of sustainable energy held by local people. We have increased the number of programmes and there are examples across Wales where that has already happened. The more we can do to that end, the more I think that people will be able to see the importance of that policy, but also the things that the policy can do in terms of their lives.
