I and my officials engage regularly with The Crown Estate, Great British Energy, and the National Wealth Fund to ensure Wales is well positioned to secure the economic, industrial and community benefits arising from marine energy and floating offshore wind.

Discussions have focused on the significant opportunities presented by the Celtic Sea, fixed offshore wind, and Tidal stream. I have consistently made the case that Wales must be at the forefront of these investments and that Welsh communities should see a fair return from the exploitation of our natural resources.

The Welsh Government will continue to work closely with all partners to secure investment, create high-quality jobs and strengthen Wales’s role in the transition to a cleaner and more secure energy system.
