The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential for the development of offshore wind in Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens

Under this government, the 1.5GW Mona offshore wind farm off the North Wales coast was awarded development consent, with the potential to support over 3,000 jobs.
And Floating Offshore Wind projects are progressing in the Celtic Sea, which could support over 5,000 new jobs and deliver a £1.4 billion-pound boost to the UK economy.
