ENVIRONMENT campaigners have criticised the Welsh government for its slow progress towards its 2035 target of all electricity coming from renewable sources.

The Wales Green Party was responding to a report from the government’s advisory body, the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales (NICW).

Party leader Anthony Slaughter said: “It is worrying and disappointing to read that the deployment of renewables is not being delivered at the pace needed  to meet the critical targets for 2035.”
