English: Diolch, Llywydd. Of course, our Welsh resources play a crucial role in supporting Welsh jobs. For example, RWE, which operates around 3 GW of energy generation in Wales across 12 sites, has a diverse portfolio of onshore and offshore wind, hydro and gas, and directly employs around 200 people at their offices in Baglan, Llanidloes, Dolgarrog and the port of Mostyn. In fact, the Welsh Conservatives want to build on the benefits of making Wales net zero by creating 15,000 new green jobs. Now, we believe that the Crown Estate plays a major and key role here in Wales, such as management of around 65 per cent of the Welsh foreshore and riverbed, and this includes a number of ports, such as Milford Haven, ownership of over 50,000 acres of Welsh uplands and common land, and they're responsible for around 250,000 acres of mineral-only interests and manage the rights to deposits of gold and silver. Now, as the Secretary of State for Wales has stated last month - and I agree with him - 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' So, I would be grateful if, today, Plaid Cymru could actually provide any meaningful evidence that the Crown Estate is not operating effectively. Now, I have done my research on this, and highlights that I've taken are this: for example, during 2021, thanks to the Crown Estate, the cumulative operational capacity in the offshore wind sector increased to 9.61 GW. The outcome of round 4 provided the potential for up to 8 GW of capacity. The valuation of the marine portfolio increased significantly - [ Interruption.] - you'll have your turn in a minute, Minister - from £49.2 million to £549.1 million. A milestone moment was achieved for the Welsh offshore wind sector, through the signing of an agreement for lease for the proposed 96 MW Erebus floating wind demonstration project.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Wrth gwrs, mae ein hadnoddau Cymreig yn chwarae rhan hanfodol yn cefnogi swyddi yng Nghymru. Er enghraifft, mae gan RWE, sy'n gweithredu tua 3 GW o gynhyrchiant ynni yng Nghymru ar draws 12 safle, bortffolio amrywiol o wynt ar y tir ac ar y môr, dŵr a nwy, ac mae'n cyflogi tua 200 o bobl yn uniongyrchol yn eu swyddfeydd ym Maglan, Llanidloes, Dolgarrog a phorthladd Mostyn. Yn wir, mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig am adeiladu ar fanteision gwneud Cymru'n sero net drwy greu 15,000 o swyddi gwyrdd newydd. Nawr, credwn fod Ystâd y Goron yn chwarae rhan bwysig ac allweddol yma yng Nghymru, megis rheoli tua 65 y cant o flaendraeth a gwely afon Cymru, ac mae hyn yn cynnwys nifer o borthladdoedd, megis Aberdaugleddau, perchnogaeth ar dros 50,000 erw o ucheldir a thir comin Cymru, ac maent yn gyfrifol am oddeutu 250,000 erw o fuddiannau mwynau crai ac yn rheoli'r hawliau i ddyddodion aur ac arian. Nawr, fel y dywedodd Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru fis diwethaf - ac rwy'n cytuno - 'Os nad yw wedi torri, peidiwch â'i drwsio.' Felly, byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallai Plaid Cymru, heddiw, ddarparu unrhyw dystiolaeth ystyrlon nad yw Ystâd y Goron yn gweithredu'n effeithiol. Nawr, rwyf wedi gwneud fy ymchwil ar hyn, a'r prif bethau a ddysgais oedd hyn: er enghraifft, yn ystod 2021, diolch i Ystâd y Goron, cynyddodd capasiti gweithredol cronnol yn y sector gwynt ar y môr i 9.61 GW. Roedd canlyniad rownd 4 yn darparu potensial ar gyfer hyd at 8 GW o gapasiti. Cynyddodd prisiad y portffolio morol yn sylweddol - [ Torri ar draws.] - cewch eich tro mewn munud, Weinidog - o £49.2 miliwn i £549.1 miliwn. Cyrhaeddwyd carreg filltir i'r sector gwynt ar y môr yng Nghymru yn sgil llofnodi cytundeb prydles ar gyfer prosiect arddangos gwynt arnawf arfaethedig 96 MW Erebus.
