ENERGY USE will
continue to
decline
in Wales

20. Conclusion 2
The growthof renewable
energy
in Wales is too slow to meet
targets

26. Conclusion 3
Wind is the cheapest
renewable electricity generator
(and it’s getting cheaper)

32. Conclusion 4
Small-scale systems are set to
revolutionise
our electricity generation system
(It’s not just solar…)

33. 1. Energy use will continue to decline in
Wales (not electricity!)
2. Growth of renewables – particularly in Wales –
is far
too slow
3. Windis the cheapest renewable electricity
generator, but other technologies are joining the
party
Summary
