The Norwegian renewables giant behind plans for a green hydrogen energy plant at a former Royal Navy armaments depot in Pembrokeshire has said there is real appetite for green energy production in Wales following support from members of the public.
Statkraft, Europe’s largest renewable power generator, has been engaging with locals over its planned plant at Trecwm which it says would generate around three tonnes of green hydrogen daily - enough for a single bus to travel more than 40,000 miles or the equivalent of 350 journeys from Fishguard to Cardiff.
Following a feedback session from locals in October and November 2022, the company said it saw over 80% of people support or strongly support the project. It added that plans had now moved forward, with some changes made to the proposal following feedback from the communities, stakeholders and the wider public.
