English: That would, I think, be an important step forward. But benefit can come in other forms too. It can mean real promises for jobs - economic prosperity of that kind - strengthening supply chains; cheaper energy bills, possibly, or, more environmentally positive, investment in energy efficiency within those communities; charging networks for electric vehicles; home batteries or solar energy for the home that is subsidised. What about sharing profits genuinely with communities? Buying permission for the solar farm: that's what EDF did. What about the profits that the company that got that permission and sold it on? A proportion of that company's profits, I think, should stay local. But it's not just listing benefits of that kind that I would want developers to do through holding an assessment. That's not just what we are talking about, but measuring the impact on rural areas, on losing those green areas that are so important to us; the impact on property prices in rural areas, and the impact on people's quality of life too. That's difficult to put a price on, perhaps, but it's so important. Considering that the impact of an individual scheme, or the cumulative impact of multiple schemes, and that's the problem that we are facing on Anglesey - . Considering that impact, what I would want to see is efforts to provide that energy generation that we do need in different ways. Rather than using a block of thousands of acres, what about hundreds of smaller blocks, following the energy distribution lines - more landowners benefiting a little, rather than a few landowners benefiting a great deal? What about using, through strengthening the distribution system, agricultural shed roofs, factory roofs, the roofs of chapels, churches, schools, community centres and so on? What about installing panels alongside land boundaries and hedgerows over large areas, creating biodiverse corridors, while keeping the fields productive? What about verges on roads? One idea that was suggested to me today: using the central reservation of the A55 for solar panels. I don't know; maybe that's possible too. So, let's think outside of the box. By being creative, I think that we could generate energy on a very large scale by working with, rather than against, communities. I have talked about solar mainly today, because that is the major issue with regard to energy projects on Anglesey, but it could include all kinds of other generation methods. Some have argued with me that not thinking in this creative way could create a risk of turning people against renewable energy projects and could prevent progress. One of the major net zero prizes would be to be able to engage with communities with regard to decarbonisation and facilitate it. We are already seeing some frustration locally, I have to say, as a result of losing influence over whether plans will receive permission or not, and I think that holding the community benefit assessments would bring the community back to the heart of planning decisions with regard to energy. I look forward to hearing the contributions this afternoon and the response of the Government.
Welsh: Mi fyddai hynny, dwi'n meddwl, yn gam pwysig ymlaen. Ond mi all budd ddod mewn ffyrdd eraill hefyd. Mi all o olygu addewidion go iawn am swyddi - bwrlwm economaidd o'r math yna - cryfhau cadwyni cyflenwi; biliau ynni rhatach, neu, o bosib, yn fwy gwerthfawr yn amgylcheddol, fuddsoddiad mewn effeithlonrwydd ynni o fewn y cymunedau hynny; rhwydweithiau gwefru cerbydau trydan; batris cartref neu ynni solar cartref wedi cael ei sybsideiddio. Beth am rannu elw go iawn efo cymunedau? Prynu caniatâd am fferm solar y gwnaeth EDF. Beth am yr elw y gwnaeth y cwmni a wnaeth gael y caniatâd hwnnw a'i werthu fo ymlaen? Mi ddylai cyfran o'r elw a wnaeth y cwmni yna, dwi'n credu, aros yn lleol. Ond nid dim ond rhestru buddion o'r math yna y byddwn i am i ddatblygwyr orfod ei wneud drwy gynnal asesiad effaith cymunedol. Mi fyddai angen mesur impact go iawn ar hagru cefn gwlad, ar golli amwynder gwyrdd sy'n bwysig iawn, iawn i ni; yr effaith ar bris eiddo o fewn y cymunedau hynny, a safon byw pobl hefyd. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth sy'n anodd rhoi pris arno fo, o bosib, ond sydd mor, mor bwysig. O ystyried bod yr impact o gynllun unigol, neu effaith gronnol cynlluniau lluosog, a dyna'r broblem rydyn ni'n ei hwynebu yn Ynys Môn - . O ystyried yr impact yna, beth byddwn i'n dymuno ei weld wedyn fyddai ymdrechion i ddarparu'r cynhyrchiant ynni yna rydym ni'n ei angen mewn ffyrdd gwahanol. Yn hytrach na defnyddio bloc o filoedd o aceri, beth am gannoedd o flociau llai, yn dilyn, o bosib, llinellau dosbarthu ynni - mwy o dirfeddianwyr yn elwa ychydig, yn hytrach nag ychydig o dirfeddianwyr yn elwa llawer iawn? Beth am, drwy gryfhau'r system ddosbarthu, ddefnyddio toeau siediau amaethyddol, toeau ffatrïoedd, eglwysi, capeli, ysgolion, canolfannau cymunedol ac ati? Beth am osod paneli cyfochrog efo cloddiau a ffiniau tir dros ardaloedd eang, gan greu coridorau cyfoethog mewn bioamrywiaeth tra'n cadw'r caeau eu hunain yn gynhyrchiol? Beth am ymylon ffyrdd? Un syniad arall a gafodd ei basio ymlaen i mi heddiw: defnyddio canol yr A55, hyd yn oed, ar gyfer paneli solar. Wn i ddim; mae'n bosib bod hynny'n bosib. Gadewch inni feddwl y tu allan i'r bocs. Drwy fod yn greadigol, dwi'n meddwl y gallwn ni gynhyrchu ynni ar raddfa eang iawn tra'n gweithio efo, yn hytrach nag yn erbyn, cymunedau. Dwi wedi sôn am solar yn bennaf heddiw, achos mai dyna'r prif fater sydd yn ymwneud â phrosiectau ynni o'r math yma yn Ynys Môn, ond mi allai fo gynnwys pob mathau o ddulliau o gynhyrchu ynni eraill hefyd. Mae rhai wedi dadlau efo fi bod peidio â meddwl yn y ffordd greadigol yma hyd yn oed yn gallu creu'r risg o droi pobl yn erbyn prosiectau ynni adnewyddol, a rhwystro cynnydd, pan mai un o'r gwobrau net sero mawr, siawns, fyddai gallu ymgysylltu a hwyluso cymunedau yn effeithiol i ddatgarboneiddio. Rydym ni eisoes yn gweld cryn rwystredigaeth yn lleol, mae'n rhaid dweud, yn sgil colli dylanwad dros ba un a gaiff cynlluniau ganiatâd ai peidio, ond mi fyddai, dwi'n meddwl, cynnal asesiadau effaith cymunedol yn dod â'r gymuned yn ôl at galon penderfyniadau cynllunio ar ynni. Dwi'n edrych ymlaen i glywed cyfraniadau y prynhawn yma ac ymateb y Llywodraeth.
