A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddweud pam nad oedd Cymru'r Dyfodol: Cynllun Cenedlaethol 2040 yn mynd i'r afael â materion capasiti'r grid ynni yng Nghymru?
Energy grid capacity issues were considered during the preparation of Future Wales, including discussions with the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee (CCERA).
Future Wales acknowledges the challenge grid infrastructure can have on renewable energy developments and policy 17 commits us to working with grid network operators to transition to a multi-vector grid network and reduce the barriers to the implementation of new grid infrastructure.
The approach I set out in my written statement on 13 September is in line with the CCERA’s recommendation:
The Welsh Government should work with the National Grid, the electricity distribution companies and the renewable energy industry to develop a shared understanding of the strategic improvements which need to be made to electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure, including any new infrastructure required in mid Wales. The first iteration of Future Wales should include a commitment to developing such a strategy.
