In Wales we have not tapped the full potential of local power schemes, owned and run by communities. I am calling on this Welsh Government, and the next one, to help expand renewable energy generation by public bodies and community enterprises.
📰 The Future Generations Commissioner wants to power up the potential – for locally-owned solar, wind and water energy, that earns and saves money for local people.
