Un o lwyddiannau pennaf arbed yw ei fod wedi sbarduno darparwyr tai cymdeithasol, cynghorau a chwmnïau ynni i fuddsoddi gwerth £31m – ar ben y £30m y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi’i fuddsoddi.  Roedd hynny’n cynnwys o leiaf £10m gan gwmnïau ynni trwy’r rhwymedigaeth a roddwyd arnynt gan Lywodraeth Prydain trwy’r Rhaglen Arbed Ynni Gymunedol i leihau allyriadau carbon.  Cadarnheais wrth y Comisiwn bod y Llywodraeth ar fin cytuno ar ail gymal y rhaglen arbed ac rydym yn disgwyl i’r prosiectau cyntaf gychwyn ddechrau 2012.
One of the great successes of arbed is that it has leveraged an additional £31m investment – on top of the £30m invested by Welsh Government - from social housing providers, councils and energy companies.  This included at least £10m funding from energy companies through the carbon emissions reduction obligations placed on them by the UK government through the Community Energy Saving Programme.  I confirmed to the Commission that we are now in the final stages of agreeing the second phase of the arbed programme and we expect the first projects to begin in early 2012.
