The owner of a Pembrokeshire oil refinery has submitted £100m plans to maintain its "viability" and "secure future jobs".

The unit will provide power to the refinery, as well as supplementing its steam demand.

Pembrokeshire council's cabinet member for the economy and communities, Councillor Keith Lewis, said the investment was "really good news".
