(Ogmore) Jeremy Miles (Neath) To
propose the National Assembly for Wales: 1.
Notes the £217 million Welsh Government investment over the last 5 years and
further commitment of £104 million for the next 4 years to improve home energy
efficiency and tackle fuel poverty. 2.
Further notes that investment in home energy efficiency needs to be
dramatically scaled-up if Wales is to achieve its aims around decarbonisation
and reducing fuel poverty. 3.
Calls on the Welsh Government to consider a broader range of investment
approaches for energy efficiency including innovative finance, putting public
sector pensions to good use, and tapping into private sector funding. 4.
Notes the proposal to establish a National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
and calls on the Welsh Government to ensure that the long-term energy
infrastructure needs of Wales and the opportunities for energy efficiency are
included within its remit. 5.
Believes that such investment would dramatically boost efforts to tackle fuel
poverty in some of our older homes, providing warm and cosy homes, improving
the health and well-being of all and particularly the vulnerable. 6.
Further believes this would help tackle climate change, reducing the carbon
emissions through energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption and reducing
the number of new power stations we need to build. 7.
Recognises the potential for economic growth, creating many thousands of jobs
in every community throughout every part of Wales. |
