Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Our annual Energy Generation in Wales details the total renewable energy produced in Wales over the past many years. The latest published report Energy Generation in Wales 2020 notes that Wales generated an estimated 10 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy from a range of renewables including biomass heat, biomass electricity and CHP, solar PV, onshore and offshore wind as well as other renewables. We are due to publish our 2021 report within the next few weeks.
