Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal - A community energy benefits bill
NDM8616 Adam
Price (Carmarthen East and Dinefwr)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes a proposal for a community energy
benefits Bill.
2. Notes that the purpose of this Bill would
be to:
a) ensure that renewable energy developments
have a direct benefit for local communities, and that loss of amenity for
communities is a key consideration in determining whether large energy
infrastructure projects proceed;
b) require profit from renewable energy
developments to be kept in the local area;
c) make local ownership a mandatory element
in every energy generation development;
d) mandate the use of renewable technology in
all new buildings, significant redevelopments and extensions; and
e) utilise all viable brownfield options
before any greenfield site can be considered, especially if remote and diverse
habitats are to be affected and or access and infrastructure is limited or
non-existent.
