The commission has recommended that the Government commit £250 million, which is 3% of the Great British Energy budget of £8.3 billion, to accelerate deployment of, and embed UK content in, marine energy projects. This is in addition to a clear gigawatt deployment target by the Government, which would help the sector to flourish. In my constituency of Ynys Môn, we have the community-owned marine energy project, Morlais. Such a measure could improve the sector and give it the certainty that it needs to use the natural resources around our country.
