Policy experts in Wales have set out a new ambitious energy plan that could put the country on the track of achieving 100 percent electricity from renewable sources by 2035. The transition process is expected to create over 20,000 new jobs and deliver a $10 billion economic boost for the country’s economy. Specifically, the plan proposes power efficiency upgrades for 870,000 homes and the rollout of 11GW of renewable energy capacity. On top of that, the plan calls for a number of policy interventions to unlock further renewables investment like ensuring more public land is being used for renewable energy generation and allocating more funds towards green skills development.
