How is the Welsh Government promoting wind and solar projects on brownfield and industrial sites?

Our draft national energy strategy will set out a delivery plan for a plan-led approach, mapping where energy will be needed and the infrastructure required to supply it. It will ensure we are locating our clean power close to industry and other major users supporting economic growth. Our approach will reduce pressure on valued landscapes and agricultural land while retaining more benefits in Wales.
