● Dame Nia Griffith, MP for Llanelli has today supported plans for a clean energy jobs boom in Wales, which is set to create 15,000 new jobs by 2030.
● Labour’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan shows how demand for clean energy workers is set to soar with historic levels of investment in clean energy.
● The first-of-a-kind plan shows how key trades such as plumbing, welding and electrification stand to benefit.
A generation of young people in Wales will benefit from new clean energy jobs under plans announced today by the UK Labour Government.
Projects in Wales such as the Hynet CCUS Cluster, Port Talbot’s Green Energy Hub and offshore wind developments along our coastline are playing a major role in driving record job growth in clean power, with 15,000 jobs set to be created in Wales in the next few years.
Labour’s plan will make sure that clean energy jobs are always good jobs, by ensuring companies receiving public grants and contracts must create jobs with decent pay, access to trade unions and strong rights at work.
Commenting on the news, Dame NIA GRIFFITH, Member of Parliament for Llanelli said:
“The Clean Energy Jobs Plan will deliver long term, well paid secure work across Wales for thousands of people over the coming years.
Here in Llanelli, we are ideally placed to capitalise on the opportunities this will bring with a firmly established manufacturing sector, a strong further and higher education base as well as being perfectly located as a gateway between South & West Wales.
The work begins now to secure the benefits of this investment for Llanelli and the surrounding areas and to take advantage of the clean energy revolution for current and future generations in our local communities.”
Ed Miliband MP, Energy Secretary said:
“The clean energy economy is the route to delivering the good jobs at decent wages that our communities deserve.
“Our pro-worker, pro-jobs, pro-union agenda is delivering thousands of opportunities right across the country, so young people don’t have to leave their hometown just to find a decent job.”

About time she took some interest in Llanelli
Didn’t know that she was still about
Kevin Lewis she only turns up when something is to be opened. Like a bottle.
Bit to late to pretend she cares.
Is Nia Griffith serious? Labour promising in creating 15,000 new jobs in key trades like plumbing and welding by 2030 if we buy into their green energy jobs ideas, but we’re already struggling to train enough of these skilled workers to meet current demand. Training for these trades takes years, so who will fill these new roles? Are they expecting skilled workers to magically appear in 5 years times? We need to invest in training more people now to address existing shortages in critical trades. Providing grants to employers to create these jobs, yet we already struggle with skilled workers, due to our appalling lack of investment in training people in these skill shortages. Using more taxpayers’ money to entice employers sounds promising, but will these jobs ever materialise? This feels like another poorly planned scheme wasting public funds and more failed ideas!!!!
