With just one week to go until polling day, the race for Wales is entering its final stage — and the battle over energy and the cost of living is front and centre.

In this special live episode of Senedd Sources, recorded in front of an audience at the Electric Brewery Field in Bridgend, Jo Kiernan and Craig Lawton are joined by representatives from Welsh Labour, Reform UK and Plaid Cymru to debate one of the biggest issues facing voters: energy bills.

As households and businesses across Wales continue to feel the pressure, the question is simple — who has the plan to bring costs down?

They discuss:

- How each party would tackle rising energy bills

- The push for energy independence in Wales

- Onshore vs offshore wind — and the political divide

- Nuclear, tidal and the future energy mix

- Planning delays and why projects take so long

- Whether communities are being brought along — or left behind

- And how all of this could shape the final week of the campaign!

With polling tight and momentum shifting, this live debate captures the key arguments defining the 2026 Senedd election.
