Welsh Government to set up state-owned renewable energy company

The Welsh Government has announced plans to set up a publicly-owned renewable energy firm.

The company - yet to be named - will initially look at developing onshore wind farms on Welsh government-owned woodland estate, which covers 6% of Wales and is largely made up of hilly, windy sites.

Set up in response to energy insecurity, the cost-of-living crisis and the climate emergency, the new firm will launch in April 2024 becoming the only government-run company of its kind in the UK.
