What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to collaborate with the Development Bank of Wales to secure increased funding for tidal energy projects, such as those proposed by Marine Energy Wales?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning | Answered on 14/10/2024

Marine Energy Wales has no proposed tidal stream projects in Wales, as it is a network of companies and organisations that promote and support the marine renewable energy industry in Wales.

One of the strategic objectives of the Development Bank of Wales is to promote and advance a green future in Wales. DBW has engaged with Marine Energy Wales to understand what support the tidal sector might require.
