New research by RenewableUK Cymru has found that 71% of Welsh people believe renewable energy development should increase, with just 6% saying it should decrease, and 58% want Wales’s future energy system to be mainly or entirely based on renewable energy.
New polling published by RenewableUK Cymru on April 1 shows strong backing for renewables comes from Labour, Plaid Cymru, Conservative and Green voters. The polling, however, also highlights the public opinion that challenges assumptions about opposition to renewable projects and energy infrastructure, with voters being broadly pro‑renewables and open to the trade‑offs when costs and community benefits are clear.
