Conclusion (the committee's words)
We recognise the benefits of a grid planned strategically for the whole of Great Britain. However, the UK’s decarbonisation efforts should also be planned strategically and there are distinct opportunities that arise from ensuring floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea connects into Wales. This is the case particularly given the heavy industry in the region and the potential opportunity to decarbonise this industry using green hydrogen produced from green energy.
