IN a busy House of Commons chamber on Wednesday, Stephen Crabb, MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire called upon Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to back Floating Offshore Wind development plans for Milford Haven.

Over the last year, Mr Crabb has met with potential developers and key industry leaders including the Crown Estate, who manage the seabed and are responsible for the Celtic Sea FLOW leasing rounds. He also recently chaired a debate in Parliament on the delivery of FLOW and is a staunch advocate for wanting to see this exciting renewable vision cross the finish line.

Today (Friday), Mr Crabb will be one of many key local politicians partaking in the online briefing offered by the four main parties involved in the Milford Haven Freeport bid. The bidding process will close on November 24 with final decisions expected in early Spring 2023.

Following Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Crabb further commented:

“I was pleased to be able to ask the Prime Minister for his full support and help enable this exciting renewable ambition become a reality”

“FLOW represents one of the biggest economic and industrial opportunities for Pembrokeshire, and the whole of South Wales, and coordination from central government and key stakeholders is crucial to unlocking this potential.”
