BBC ‘Marine energy: Wales urged to be ‘world leader’
By Sarah Dickins BBC Wales economics correspondent
Wales could be a world leader in marine energy and should make the industry a priority, a former energy minister has said. Lord Peter Hain, who served under Tony Blair in 2001, said there was “massive untapped potential” around the Welsh coast.
He urged a mix of Welsh government and private investment to drive it forward.
The projects include a new £590m lagoon announced for Mostyn – Flintshire.
