Will the Minister confirm what the energy produced at the planned solar panel farm at Cardiff Airport is designated for?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 20/10/2022
Cardiff Airport is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Welsh Government, operated at arms-length as a private limited company. It operates in an independent and commercial manner, makes investment decisions on a wholly commercial basis, and is liable for its own actions and any issues arising from the running of its business. As such, the Solar Farm is commercial matter between Cardiff Airport and Cenin Renewables.
Further details regarding the Solar Farm are set out in an evidence paper to the Senedd’s Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee:
