Welsh secretary admits £100 off-grid help is not generous
The Welsh secretary has admitted that the help offered to homes who use off-grid energy is "not generous".

Oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are not covered by the energy price cap.
The UK government said off-grid households will get an extra £100 on top of a £400 payment going to everyone.
David TC Davies said he was "sure" the UK government would be looking at the issue.
He made the comments at his first appearance at the Welsh Affairs Select Committee since Rishi Sunak made him Welsh secretary.
Mr Davies said he had also made "known" in government his concerns about jobs at Newport Wafer Fab, which is the subject of a delayed review of its Chinese-ownership.
He said the new prime minister intends to have a "good and positive" relationship with the Welsh government.
Conservative MPs are among those who have raised concerns about the support made available to households who use oil or LPG.
Plaid Cymru's Ben Lake has said the £100 would "leave many struggling to make ends meet".
The previous business secretary, Jacob Rees Mogg, had defended the payment, saying there was "equivalence" in the level of support offered because the price of heating oil had not risen as much as the price of gas.
