Y ni a nwy
Ynni yw cyrrensi grym yr oes sydd o honi.
Nol ym mis Ionawr ces i’r ateb isod gan Malcolm Wicks yn esbonio na fydd hawl gan gwmni’r National Grid i brynu tir yn orfodol gogyfer eu piben LNG o Felindre i Tirley nes iddyn nhw cael caniatad cynllunio. Syndod felly oedd gorfod delio yn ddiweddar gyda achos etholwr oedd wedi derbyn llythyr cyfreithiol gan y cwmni yn bygwyth cyfarwyddeb prynu gorfodol. Mae’r cwmni wedi gorfod camu nol nawr o’r tacetegau bwlian yma ar ol pwynto mas iddyn y sefyllfa cyfreithiol.
Ar raddfa fwy, mae’n pery gofid i ddarllen am ddiddordeb Gazprom, y cwmni ynni gwladoledig enfawr o Rwsia Ymerodrol, mewn cymeryd Centrica, rhiant gwmni British Gas, drosodd. Dyma’r cwmni sydd wedi bygwth Belarus dros yr wythnose diwetha’ gyda threblu eu prisiau nwy os na chawn nhw rhagor o gonsesiynau gan y Belarwsiaid. Y llynedd gofynon nhw am berchnogaeth o ran Belarws o’r biben o Yamal i Ewrop a chwpl o “booster stations” ar hyd y ffordd tebyg i’r un yn Felindre. Y Cymry, yn amlwg, ydy Belarwsiaid y cyn-Deyrnas Gyfunol.
Adam Price: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which alternative routes were explored before the 1km corridor for the liquid gas pipeline proposed by the National Grid from Felindre to Tirley was chosen; on what basis these alternative routes were not chosen; what consultation there has been between National Grid, Carmarthen county council and the general public on the pipeline; and whether a compulsory purchase order will be granted for the land owned by those who refuse to accept the terms offered by the National Grid. [43171]
Malcolm Wicks: National Grid have not applied for consent to lay a pipeline from Filindre to Tirley. If and when they do then an explanation of the alternative routes considered, the reasons for the preferred route and justification for the discounting of others will have to be given. Any such application will be advertised and an opportunity given for representations to be made to the Secretary of State.
In view of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State’s quasi-judicial responsibilities for confirming compulsory purchase orders, I cannot give an indication as to whether or not such an order would be confirmed.
