ENVIRONMENT campaigners have criticised the Welsh government for its slow progress towards its 2035 target of all electricity coming from renewable sources.
The Wales Green Party was responding to a report from the government’s advisory body, the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales (NICW).
Party leader Anthony Slaughter said: “It is worrying and disappointing to read that the deployment of renewables is not being delivered at the pace needed to meet the critical targets for 2035.”
The NICW report includes 11 recommendations on how changes can be made to enhance renewable energy development in Wales.
NICW commissioner Nick Tune said: “The deployment of renewable energy in Wales is currently not moving at the pace required to address the climate emergency and subsequently the needs of the people of Wales.
“This report identifies critical actions that are required by the Welsh government to deliver their target of meeting 100 per cent of its annual electricity demand from renewable sources by 2035.”
