The new Local Benefits Team, led by Fiona Parry, will build on the work done as part of Morlais, Menter Môn's tidal Stream Energy project.

A key priority, as well as producing low carbon energy, is to ensure that local people have the skills needed in the energy sector, as well as ensuring that local businesses benefit form supply chain opportunities.

Over the last five years, Menter Môn have worked closely with schools, Grwp Llandrillo Menai and Bangor University to enthuse the next generation and highlight the opportunities. This work was recognised last year with the Best Newcomer Award from Careers Wales.
