Interesting article from a few months ago. The most ambitious manifesto (the Lib Dems, rather than Green or Plaid) suggested targeting 2025 as the date by which Wales' electricity could come from 100% renewable sources. The ruling party in Wales, Labour, don't seem to have a specific target in this respect.

Be interesting to see how this goes under Labour in Wales (this article was the position pre-Assembly elections and pre-EU referendum).

Apparently when polled, the UK population expect to see the majority of electricity being produced from renewable sources by the 2020s, which is more ambitious than current government targets could match. Renewable sources currently account for less than 20% of the UK's energy.

One other thing, much of the power generated in Wales is consumed in England. I'd like to see England take on more responsibility for generating its own renewables, rather than rely on windfarms in Mid-Wales, for example.
