Article summary

The Welsh Government has contracted Western Power Distribution, as the local licensed distribution network operator, to design and build a replacement network for the benefit of Baglan Energy Park, costing approximately £3m. The Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething, has said this measure will provide new infrastructure to the energy park, affording the opportunity to customers impacted by the liquidation of the power station the option to connect to a new OFGEM-regulated distribution network. This is expected to significantly reduce the cost implications for organisations that would need to secure a new connection to the grid.
