A new deal has been launched to ensure Wales meets its renewable energy targets, whilst maximising the benefits for communities.
The Renewable Energy Sector Deal will be a strategic partnership between Welsh Government and industry, focused on unlocking the full economic potential of Wales’ renewable energy future.
It coincides with the publication of the latest Energy Generation and Energy Use in Wales report, which shows renewable electricity generation in Wales in 2024 was equivalent to 54% of its electricity consumption.
The target is for renewable electricity generation to meet 70% of our consumption by 2030 and 100% by 2035, whilst also delivering at least 1.5 gigawatts of locally owned renewable energy capacity by 2035.
The Sector Deal will help deliver on these ambitious targets by accelerating renewable deployment across onshore and offshore wind, solar, marine and hydro. It also aims to strengthen supply chains, build the workforce of the future and ensure that communities across Wales reap the benefits.
