A blood donation centre in Bangor will receive Welsh Government funding to help reduce its energy bills.

The Velindre University NHS Trust will get a share of over £500,000 to help improve energy efficiency at two Welsh Blood Service sites in the North.

Money will be spent in both Bangor and Wrexham to install solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points - with plans to create a new donor facility in Wrexham.

The Welsh Government says the grant will help support the blood service to transition towards using electric vehicles as well as net-zero targets for the NHS.

Just two projects in North Wales will receive a share of more than £8.2 million from the third round of Ynni Cymru funding, aimed at reducing energy costs and cutting carbon emissions.

Energy Minister, Adam Price, said: "These projects demonstrate how clean energy can support the services people rely on every day, whether that's helping students develop the skills needed for future careers or supporting healthcare services that make a vital contribution to patient care across Wales."

"Ynni Cymru is delivering the Welsh Government's vision for greener, cheaper energy, owned and used by people and communities across Wales."
