An event to celebrate and promote the marine energy sector in Wales was recently co-hosted by local Assembly Member Paul Davies. Mr Davies co-hosted the event with Assembly colleagues to discuss some of the sector’s latest and planned developments and to examine some of the challenges currently facing the sector.

Mr Davies said, “Pembrokeshire is an integral part in Wales’ marine energy sector and it was great to meet with the industry’s representatives to celebrate some of the recent developments in the local area. It’s an exciting time for the marine energy sector but we must continue to ensure that schemes that are developed in the future deliver significant benefits to the local community, in terms of the energy that they generate and also working with local businesses and supporting local supply chains. Of course, there’s always more that Governments can do to support the sector and I will continue to call on Governments at all levels to do more to engage with the sector and help Pembrokeshire’s marine energy industry reach its full potential.”
