Recommendation 17

The UK Government must recognise that Wales’ increase in renewable energy development and generation may be significantly hindered by grid constraints if action is not taken. To mitigate this risk, the UK Government must work in collaboration Renewable energy in Wales 29 with Ofgem to plan anticipatory investment in Wales, so that the significant uplift in renewables generation which is likely to occur is not handicapped by our currently severe grid constraints. The UK Government must also engage with key stakeholders to ensure that these constraints are adequately addressed in such a way that will not delay the Welsh decarbonisation roadmap.
