Conclusion
The UK Government should focus on maintaining a close working relationship with the Welsh Government, particularly in regard to major energy systems challenges such a grid capacity and port infrastructure. To facilitate effective collaboration, where renewable energy projects in Wales are under consideration, the UK Government should invite Welsh Government Ministers to attend and participate in the Ministerial Delivery Group.

HM Government
Acknowledged
We recognise the important role for the Devolved Administrations in contributing to the expansion of renewable power in the UK. My officials will continue to work closely with officials in the Devolved Administration and those in the Wales Office to ensure Welsh interests are reflected in the work of the Ministerial Delivery Group. At a ministerial level, we intend to work closely with the Welsh Government and the other Devolved Administrations through existing fora such as the Net Zero Inter-Ministerial Group.
