🌿 Saving Wales’ Curlew: When clean energy and conservation work together ⚡ There are some who would argue that renewable energy and nature recovery are competing causes; at odds with one another. This story from Wales proves the opposite is true. They’re two sides of the same future.

We’re off! 🚗⚡ Team Cymru is proud to be taking part in the Greenfleet EV Rally — showcasing Wales’ EV & clean energy potential! We've already seen how the EV sector is powering up in North Wales - Welsh company CostelloesEV has seen a 40% increase in demand for charging in this region alone.

A strong ‘energy’ theme at this Autumn’s @plaidcymru.bsky.social conference in Swansea, and how we strike the right balance - delivering the clean power we need as a forward thinking nation, while capturing as many of the benefits here in Wales, along with the hearts and minds of our communities.
