Question
When will the Cabinet Minister publish the assessment of asbestos-containing components in wind turbines and make it available to Members of the Senedd as per his commitment during Plenary on 1 July 2026?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy (Adam Price)
The Health and Safety Executive’s work to establish the extent of asbestos-containing components in UK wind turbines is ongoing. To date, no formal HSE report has been published and neither the UK Government nor HSE has announced a publication timetable. The Welsh Government continues to monitor the work being undertaken by HSE and industry stakeholders.
