Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg: Tata Steel
Rwy'n diolch i Sam Kurtz am y croeso a roddodd i'r datblygiadau yn ystod y dyddiau diwethaf. Rwy'n dymuno dweud nad wyf i'n credu ei bod hi'n fuddiol i ni siarad am obeithion gwag ar hyn o bryd. Mae hon yn sefyllfa anodd iawn i filoedd o bobl. Rwy'n gwybod…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg: Tata Steel
Daeth ymgynghoriad ffurfiol rhwng Tata Steel UK a phwyllgor dur y DU, sydd, fel gŵyr yr Aelodau, yn cynnwys y tri undeb dur, Community, Unite a GMB, i ben ym mis Ebrill. Ers hynny, mae trafodaethau wedi bod yn parhau rhwng y cwmni a phwyllgor dur y DU dros…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a’r Gymraeg: Tata Steel
Diolch, Llywydd. Fel y gŵyr Aelodau, gwnaeth y newyddion a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf y gallai Tata ddiffodd ffwrneisiau chwyth 4 a 5 ym Mhort Talbot yr wythnos hon yn sgil gweithredu diwydiannol achosi cryn ofid i bawb, yn enwedig y gweithwyr a'r gymuned…

Dadl ar Gynnig Deddfwriaethol gan Aelod: Bil Buddion Ynni Cymunedol
Dirprwy Lywydd, i grynhoi, mae perchnogaeth gymunedol wrth wraidd ein polisi ynni adnewyddadwy ac mae'n elfen hanfodol o'n cynllun cyffredinol i fanteisio ar fuddsoddiadau ynni gwyrdd. Rwy'n credu bod deddfwriaeth fel hyn yn gallu bod yn arf rhy lawdrwm i…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think that's a slightly different question, Chair, and I think Governments everywhere probably are in that position, because there are other things that Governments have to address. The point I'm making to you is that we are looking to put in place the most…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think we are, yes. I think there are challenges that all Governments face in terms of the scale of the demand and the opportunity. It's a positive thing, really, to respond nimbly to that, and everyone is looking to improve their agility to be able to…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think the point about innovation is important. I would say that there are a number of ways in which we support innovation in steel production already. Even last week, or the week before last, a new, I think, £1 million fund was committed by Innovate UK to…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Yes, as part of that broader mix involving nuclear and renewables, it's important to make sure that we're doing everything to decarbonise energy generation in Wales. We obviously have a history of nuclear in Wylfa and in Trawsfynydd, and I think we've seen…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think it's about culture change at the end of the day. I think that's what will enable us to get to the right end result. And that's why the legislation has developed in the way that it has, really. I had, in my previous role, plenty of scrutiny from the…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Well, we've got a prior approach, haven't we, which is the well-being of future generations Act, which, in a sense, has just transition at its heart, I would argue. That's about living in a sustainable, just country. So, in a sense, we've got our own solution…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Okay. So, there are two things. I think I do recognise some of what you're saying, because I do have some of those conversations myself, but I think it's quite a complex set of things that are going on behind that. So, I think part of it is about where you…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
From a workers point of view, I think a lot of it is about making sure the skills that people have are ones that enable them to flourish in that changing economy. The personal learning accounts that we fund to enable people who are in work to reskill or to…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I don't think we are segregating them, in reality. What we're basically saying to people is—. In a sense, the point we're making is that a lot of the skills that we need for the future are ones that we are currently training people to do, but applying them in…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Some of it is about modelling what these roles look like, isn't it? So, Careers Wales have been working on a series of case studies showing young people progressing into green jobs, and some of those, at least, are up on the website already. They're…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
You identified Anglesey and Pembrokeshire. I would say that there are very good examples both in north Wales and in west Wales of developers working with local further education colleges, having made a commitment to do everything they can to recruit from the…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I think this is a really fair point. I think one of the challenges that sometimes we have, for reasons which I think are probably unsurprising, is that busy employers often find it a challenge to articulate exactly what the skills mix is that they need today…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
There's an opportunity for us through that. That is certainly not an intervention that exists outside Wales only. There'll be opportunities for investment that come from that, which I think are very exciting and will enable us to meet some of the policy…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
I don't think it's about the cheaper one. The point I make about mandating local ownership is that that requires local ownership, and there may not always be that demand in a particular profile. I think the better way of approaching it is to make sure that we…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Well, that, really, is some of the work that Ynni Cymru will be doing. That's specifically about making sure that we can support communities to have a more strategic view of how that funding can be deployed. So, that, really, is part of what that is there to…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
Well, we have actually been doing very well against our target for energy production from community ownership, and we've actually extended our target now in order to make it more stretching. So, our new target is 1 GW [Correction: '1.5 GW'] of capacity by…

Ymchwiliad i’r Economi Werdd: Panel 9 - Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a'r Gymraeg
So, I'm making two points. One is about having the legislation that puts in place the faster system, and the separate point is about making sure we've got the capacity in the system to address the level of demand that we know is there.
