Energy Infrastructure: Pylons

Debated on 29 October 2025

Henry Tufnell:

I, like my constituency neighbour, the hon. Member for Caerfyrddin (Ann Davies), and Plaid wants to be taken seriously as a party of government, but it fails to recognise the importance of the role that renewable energy will play.

Does the Secretary of State agree with RenewableUK Cymru, which recently concluded that Plaid’s approach would cost jobs and investment in communities such as mine in Pembrokeshire?

Sec. of State for Wales:

Labour is the only party that is committed to investing in renewable energy, which will bring down bills and create thousands of jobs for people right across Wales.

Plaid and Reform are against renewable infrastructure, and Plaid and the SNP do not want nuclear—Plaid’s economy spokesperson in the Senedd is anti-nuclear.

Plaid is happy to see people pay higher bills, to spurn investment, and to see job opportunities slashed.
