English: I'm really delighted that rights have been granted for the Erebus project, which could create subsequent projects of approximately 300 MW in the Celtic sea. The project will initially focus on a 100 MW demonstration project, which is predicted to power over 93,000 homes per year, and this would save 151,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. Of course, I'm also pleased that the proposed tidal lagoon off the Denbighshire coast received council approval. This project would see an estimated 22,000 jobs created, including between 6,000 and 7,000 at the construction phase. The tidal lagoon, which would have the capacity to generate 5 - I can never say this - TWh in a year, could power up to 1 million homes. Tidal lagoons and barrages are also able to assist in flood prevention for coastal communities, so that means that investments we make now will produce savings over the long term. Offshore renewables also have the potential to generate thousands of green jobs in Wales. It has oft been said there should never be a choice between supporting the economy and protecting the environment. Here is the perfect opportunity now to do both. The Wales national marine plan states the Welsh Government would support further commercial deployment of offshore wind technologies. But I'm afraid, Minister, words have to be backed by action: 2020 saw the lowest annual deployment rate of new renewable capacity since 2010, with just 65 MW being commissioned. This is disproportionately low compared with the peak seen in 2015, when 1,019 MW were commissioned. Offshore wind has the second lowest number of projects in Wales, with just three. In comparison, onshore wind has 751 projects. Despite this, offshore wind has the capacity to generate 726 MW of electricity, behind only onshore wind and solar photovoltaics. So, this is particularly disconcerting since the Welsh Government recently applauded itself for being an early adopter of offshore wind. As shadow Minister for climate change, it is very important to ensure that these projects also protect local wildlife and biodiversity. Offshore wind can positively influence biodiversity within the world seas. So, to ensure this, we should develop a strategy for reversing sea bird decline and review it at least once in every Senedd. The Minister is very aware of how I want to ensure that we do have a strategic marine spatial plan in order that there are certain areas where renewable energy producers can go and other areas where, no, those would be left for biodiversity and conservation projects. We need to see a plan to see offshore windfarms also acting as artificial reefs, attracting more marine life than natural reefs, by functioning as fish accumulation devices. Local fishermen - . In fact, one of our main fishermen in Conwy is desperate to get involved with companies providing offshore wind near my constituency, but trying to get those talks under way, because there is the prospect of wrapping mussel ropes around the bases of wind turbines, so that way you can have both - you can actually have your marine conservation and biodiversity, but at the same time, working together in terms of renewable energy, developing a strategy for sustainable seafood harvesting from within the areas of windfarms. So how do we ensure that these projects come to fruition and that more like them are approved in a timely fashion? We need, our renewable energy providers need, a clear and responsive framework from the Welsh Government. Last May, the Senedd unanimously accepted our legislative proposal for marine planning in Wales. This would create a duty for the Welsh Government to facilitate the creation of a national marine development plan and establish strategic resource areas for marine energy. As Welsh Conservatives, we would invest £150 million in a Wales marine energy investment fund. We would also fund a Welsh tidal feasibility study to accelerate the delivery of tidal power projects around Wales and provide open-source data for developers. The renewable energy targets set in 2017 include generating 70 per cent of electricity consumption from renewables by 2030, and to have 1 GW of renewables owned locally by 2030. If the Welsh Government doesn't get behind more offshore renewable projects, these targets will be virtually impossible to meet. Only last week, Minister, you were talking about having come back from COP15, and some of the fantastic ideas that you picked up whilst out there. We all agreed, cross-party, that maybe you would come back to the Chamber at some time and talk with us about what ideas you picked up from there. So, without further ado, I'll say my bit. I know we've got some really interesting contributions from my own group, but also, I hope, from other Members in this Chamber. Diolch.
Welsh: Rwy'n hynod falch fod hawliau wedi'u rhoi i brosiect Erebus, a allai greu prosiectau dilynol o tua 300 MW yn y môr Celtaidd. I ddechrau, bydd y prosiect yn canolbwyntio ar brosiect arddangos 100 MW, y rhagwelir y bydd yn pweru dros 93,000 o gartrefi'r flwyddyn, a byddai hyn yn arbed 151,000 tunnell o allyriadau carbon bob blwyddyn. Wrth gwrs, rwyf hefyd yn falch bod y morlyn llanw arfaethedig oddi ar arfordir sir Ddinbych wedi cael sêl bendith y cyngor. Byddai'r prosiect hwn yn creu tua 22,000 o swyddi, gan gynnwys rhwng 6,000 a 7,000 yn y cyfnod adeiladu. Gallai'r morlyn llanw, a fyddai â'r capasiti i gynhyrchu 5 - nid wyf byth yn gallu dweud hyn - TWh mewn blwyddyn, a allai bweru hyd at 1 filiwn o gartrefi. Mae morlynnoedd llanw a morgloddiau hefyd yn gallu cynorthwyo gydag atal llifogydd ar gyfer cymunedau arfordirol, felly mae hynny'n golygu y bydd buddsoddiadau a wnawn nawr yn cynhyrchu arbedion hirdymor. Yn ogystal, mae gan ynni adnewyddadwy ar y môr botensial i gynhyrchu miloedd o swyddi gwyrdd yng Nghymru. Dywedir yn aml na ddylem orfod dewis rhwng cefnogi'r economi a diogelu'r amgylchedd. Dyma'r cyfle perffaith nawr i wneud y ddau. Mae cynllun morol cenedlaethol Cymru'n dweud y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru'n cefnogi defnyddio technolegau ynni gwynt ar y môr ymhellach at ddibenion masnachol. Ond mae arnaf ofn, Weinidog, fod rhaid gwneud mwy na siarad: yn 2020 gwelsom y gyfradd defnydd flynyddol isaf o gapasiti ynni adnewyddadwy newydd ers 2010, gyda dim ond 65 MW yn cael ei gomisiynu. Mae hyn yn anghymesur o isel o'i gymharu â'r uchafbwynt a welwyd yn 2015, pan gomisiynwyd 1,019 MW. Ynni gwynt ar y môr sydd â'r nifer isaf ond un o brosiectau yng Nghymru, gyda dim ond tri. Mewn cymhariaeth, ceir 751 o brosiectau ynni gwynt ar y tir. Er hynny, mae gan ynni gwynt ar y môr gapasiti i gynhyrchu 726 MW o drydan, y tu ôl i ynni gwynt ar y tir a systemau solar ffotofoltäig yn unig. Felly, mae hyn yn arbennig o annisgwyl gan fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi canmol ei hun yn ddiweddar am fod yn un o'r rhai cyntaf i fabwysiadu ynni gwynt ar y môr. Fel Gweinidog cabinet yr wrthblaid dros newid hinsawdd, mae'n bwysig iawn sicrhau bod y prosiectau hyn hefyd yn diogelu bywyd gwyllt a bioamrywiaeth leol. Gall ynni gwynt ar y môr ddylanwadu'n gadarnhaol ar fioamrywiaeth ym moroedd y byd. Felly, i sicrhau hyn, dylem ddatblygu strategaeth ar gyfer gwrthdroi'r lleihad yn nifer adar y môr a'i adolygu o leiaf unwaith ym mhob Senedd. Mae'r Gweinidog yn ymwybodol iawn o fy awydd i sicrhau bod gennym gynllun gofodol morol strategol er mwyn sicrhau bod yna rai ardaloedd lle gall cynhyrchwyr ynni adnewyddadwy fynd iddynt a bod ardaloedd eraill yn cael eu neilltuo ar gyfer bioamrywiaeth a phrosiectau cadwraeth. Mae angen inni gael cynllun sy'n sicrhau bod ffermydd gwynt ar y môr hefyd yn gweithredu fel riffau artiffisial, gan ddenu mwy o fywyd morol na riffau naturiol, drwy weithredu fel dyfeisiau cronni pysgod. Mae pysgotwyr lleol - . Yn wir, mae un o'n prif bysgotwyr yng Nghonwy yn ysu i gael cysylltiad â chwmnïau sy'n darparu ynni gwynt ar y môr ger fy etholaeth, ond mae ceisio rhoi'r sgyrsiau hynny ar y gweill, oherwydd mae'n bosibl lapio rhaffau cregyn gleision o amgylch gwaelodion tyrbinau gwynt, fel y gallwch gael - gallwch gael eich cadwraeth forol a'ch bioamrywiaeth, ond ar yr un pryd, gallwch gael ynni adnewyddadwy ochr yn ochr â hynny, a gallwch ddatblygu strategaeth ar gyfer cynaeafu bwyd môr cynaliadwy o ardaloedd ffermydd gwynt. Felly sut mae sicrhau bod y prosiectau hyn yn dwyn ffrwyth a bod mwy o rai tebyg iddynt yn cael eu cymeradwyo mewn modd amserol? Mae angen, mae ein darparwyr ynni adnewyddadwy angen, fframwaith clir ac ymatebol gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Fis Mai diwethaf, derbyniodd y Senedd ein cynnig deddfwriaethol ar gyfer cynllunio morol yng Nghymru yn unfrydol. Byddai hwn yn creu dyletswydd i Lywodraeth Cymru hwyluso'r gwaith o greu cynllun datblygu morol cenedlaethol a sefydlu ardaloedd adnoddau strategol ar gyfer ynni morol. Fel Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, byddem yn buddsoddi £150 miliwn mewn cronfa fuddsoddi ynni morol yng Nghymru. Byddem hefyd yn ariannu astudiaeth ddichonoldeb ar gyfer ynni'r llanw yng Nghymru er mwyn cyflymu'r broses o gyflawni prosiectau ynni'r llanw o amgylch Cymru a darparu data ffynhonnell agored i ddatblygwyr. Mae'r targedau ynni adnewyddadwy a osodwyd yn 2017 yn cynnwys cynhyrchu 70 y cant o'r trydan a ddefnyddir o ynni adnewyddadwy erbyn 2030, a sicrhau bod 1 GW o ynni adnewyddadwy mewn perchnogaeth leol erbyn 2030. Os na fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cefnogi mwy o brosiectau ynni adnewyddadwy ar y môr, bydd y targedau hyn bron yn amhosibl i'w cyrraedd. Yr wythnos diwethaf, Weinidog, roeddech yn dweud eich bod newydd ddychwelyd o COP15, ac fe sonioch chi am rai o'r syniadau gwych a glywsoch tra oeddech chi allan yno. Fe wnaethom ni i gyd gytuno, yn drawsbleidiol, efallai y gallech ddod yn ôl i'r Siambr rywbryd a siarad am y syniadau a glywsoch yno. Felly, heb ragor o lol, fe wnaf ddirwyn i ben. Rwy'n gwybod bod gennym gyfraniadau diddorol iawn gan fy ngrŵp i, ond hefyd, gobeithio, gan Aelodau eraill yn y Siambr. Diolch.
