Members will be aware Baglan Operations Limited (‘BOL’) and the Baglan group of companies entered compulsory liquidation on 24 March 2021\.  An Official Receiver from the UK Government’s Insolvency Service was appointed as the liquidator and has been carrying out statutory duties to ensure a safe wind\-down of BOL’s operations.  These have included ongoing provision of the sole electricity supply to Baglan Energy Park via a private wire network linked to the now\-closed Baglan energy plant. 


The Welsh Government continues to work with Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, and is supporting Western Power Distribution to deploy new infrastructure to all customers of the Power Station as quickly as possible by providing practical and financial support to help businesses secure their new connection to the grid.  WPD are working at pace and due to complete significantly ahead of schedule, with the majority of customers expected to have their new connection in place by the end of May 2022\. 


Further to my written statement of 19th January 2022, and having pursued all other options, Welsh Government, Dŵr Cymru, Neath Port Talbot Council, together with the largest company on the Energy Park, Sofidel, issued legal proceedings to seek to prevent the Official Receiver from discontinuing the private wire network, pending the longer\-term solution being implemented.  The judgment in those proceedings has now been handed down. Whilst the judge dismissed the applications, he did direct that the power supply to the private wire network should  be maintained until 18th April 2022 for Dwr Cymru and Neath and Port Talbot Council.  The Court Order, received today, directs that the power supply to Sofidel and other customers at the park (apart from DCC and NPTC) should be maintained until at least the 4th April 2022\.


This would clearly be some weeks ahead of the provision of the new power network arrangements for all customers.


My officials and I are considering the judgement, and are considering Welsh Government’s position with regards to a possible appeal.


In parallel, I have served proceedings for Judicial Review on the Secretary of State for BEIS as I continue to believe BEIS do have the powers to intervene to ensure continuity of supply for the benefit of the citizens and businesses in the Baglan Bay area.


The Welsh Government is mindful of the stress and uncertainty that customers of the Energy Park have experienced as a result of this ongoing issue. We will continue to work with Neath Port Talbot County Council, Dwr Cymru and all relevant parties to seek to secure a solution to the very significant risks of public health and environmental harm including increased flood risk (as well as the risks to the local economy) the termination of the private wire energy supply would create for businesses and citizens in Baglan ahead of the new distribution network being in place.

Bydd yr Aelodau'n ymwybodol bod Baglan Operations Limited ('BOL') a grŵp Baglan o gwmnïau wedi dechrau diddymiad gorfodol ar 24 Mawrth 2021\.  Penodwyd Derbynnydd Swyddogol o Wasanaeth Ansolfedd Llywodraeth y DU yn ddiddymwr ac mae wedi bod yn cyflawni dyletswyddau statudol i sicrhau bod gweithrediadau BOL yn cael eu dirwyn i ben yn ddiogel.  Mae'r rhain wedi cynnwys darpariaeth barhaus o'r unig gyflenwad trydan i Barc Ynni Baglan drwy rwydwaith gwifren breifat sy'n gysylltiedig â gwaith ynni Baglan sydd bellach ar gau. 


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i weithio gyda Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Castell\-nedd Port Talbot a Dŵr Cymru, ac mae'n cefnogi Western Power Distribution i ddefnyddio seilwaith newydd i holl gwsmeriaid yr Orsaf Bŵer cyn gynted â phosibl drwy ddarparu cymorth ymarferol ac ariannol i helpu busnesau i sicrhau eu cysylltiad newydd â'r grid.  Mae WPD yn gweithio'n gyflym ac i fod i gwblhau llawer cyn yr amserlen, a disgwylir i'r rhan fwyaf o gwsmeriaid sefydlu eu cysylltiad newydd erbyn diwedd mis Mai 2022\. 


Yn dilyn fy natganiad ysgrifenedig ar 19 Ionawr 2022, ac ar ôl dilyn pob opsiwn arall, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru, Dŵr Cymru, Cyngor Castell\-nedd Port Talbot, ynghyd â'r cwmni mwyaf ar y Parc Ynni, Sofidel, achos cyfreithiol i geisio atal y Derbynnydd Swyddogol rhag terfynu'r rhwydwaith gwifrau preifat, tra'n aros i'r ateb tymor hwy gael ei weithredu.  Mae'r dyfarniad yn y trafodion hynny bellach wedi'i drosglwyddo. Er i'r barnwr wrthod y ceisiadau, fe wnaeth gyfarwyddo y dylid cynnal y cyflenwad pŵer i'r rhwydwaith gwifrau preifat tan 18 Ebrill 2022 ar gyfer Dŵr Cymru a Chyngor Castell\-nedd a Phort Talbot.  Mae'r Gorchymyn Llys, a dderbyniwyd heddiw, yn cyfarwyddo y dylid cynnal y cyflenwad pŵer i Sofidel a chwsmeriaid eraill yn y parc (ar wahân i Dŵr Cymru a Chyngor Castell\-nedd Port Talbot) tan o leiaf 4 Ebrill 2022\.


Byddai hyn yn amlwg rai wythnosau cyn darparu'r trefniadau rhwydwaith pŵer newydd ar gyfer pob cwsmer.


Mae fy swyddogion a minnau'n ystyried y dyfarniad, ac yn ystyried safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru o ran apêl bosibl.


Ochr yn ochr â hynny, yr wyf wedi cyflwyno achos ar gyfer Adolygiad Barnwrol ar yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros BEIS gan fy mod yn parhau i gredu fod gan BEIS y pwerau i ymyrryd er mwyn sicrhau parhad y cyflenwad er budd y dinasyddion a'r busnesau yn ardal Bae Baglan.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymwybodol o'r straen a'r ansicrwydd y mae cwsmeriaid y Parc Ynni wedi'u profi o ganlyniad i'r mater hwn. Byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda Chyngor Sir Castell\-nedd Port Talbot, Dwr Cymru a'r holl bartïon perthnasol i geisio sicrhau ateb i'r risgiau sylweddol iawn i iechyd y cyhoedd a niwed amgylcheddol gan gynnwys mwy o berygl o lifogydd (yn ogystal â’r risgiau i’r economi leol) y byddai terfynu'r cyflenwad ynni gwifren breifat yn eu creu i fusnesau a dinasyddion ym Maglan cyn i'r rhwydwaith dosbarthu newydd ddechrau.
