Losing the Wylfa nuclear project on Anglesey has “the potential to inflict a major blow on the economy of north Wales if it is permanent” Ken Skates AM, Minister for the Economy and Transport in the Welsh government, told MPs at Westminster. In an inquiry by the Welsh Affairs Select Committee MPs heard that Wales is looking towards tidal power as an alternative. The North Wales Economic Ambition Board is considering what it can do to bring those forward and representatives from the Isle of Anglesey County Council, hoped to bring forward such projects more quickly.
