A range of low-carbon energy projects that have been launched on the Isle of Anglesey could create up to 5,000 jobs for concrete tool users.
Carwyn Jones, first minister of Wales, launched the new Energy Island Programme today (June 18th).
"This framework will create opportunities for Anglesey to benefit from a range of energy-related projects - potentially attracting considerable new investment to the island and creating high quality employment," Mr Jones commented.
The scheme is expected to attract as much as £2.34 billion to the island and north-west Wales in the next 15 years, head of economic development and energy island programme director Sasha Wynn Davies said.
An extra 2,500 operational positions are expected to be created by 2025 and additional posts will be made available by supply chain demand, the ministry stated.
Recently Welsh secretary Cheryl Gillian told the BBC that an offshore wind farm in northern Wales could see the creation of 1,000 jobs.
