Wales 'lagging behind' Europe in renewable energy

Dr David Clubb, director of RenewableUK Cymru says support for all types of renewable energy, including onshore wind farms, is evident from today's poll, but Wales is still lagging behind other countries in the UK and Europe.

For the second consecutive year, the people of Wales have strongly confirmed their support for renewable energy across all technology types - including onshore wind.

I believe the benefits of renewable energy, including generating clean energy, ought to be spread far and wide across Wales.

Wales is blessed with a phenomenal renewable energy resource, but we still lag behind Scotland, as well as many of our European neighbours. We will continue to make the case, and to support the businesses that are a vital part in the transition to a clean, green, responsible future.
