The way we generate and use energy affects us all. Energy is a critical element of Scotland’s current economy and will become an increasingly important part of our future, as well as having a profound economic, social and environmental impact on every business and individual.
Energy Scotland brings together representatives covering the breadth of the energy sector (including project developers, customer-facing energy suppliers, energy generators, system operators, academics and technology solutions providers). Energy Scotland’s aim is to utilise the vast expertise encompassed by these representatives of the Scottish Energy sector to inform policy and decision making, in order that Scotland can optimise and reshape the ways in which it generates, distributes and consumes energy. The group aims to disseminate informed, expert opinion and to support and facilitate decision making in order to: stimulate informed policy creation and revision, in line with current domestic and international environmental targets; create a commercially sustainable energy sector which is on a clear and achievable path to a net increase in employment; and provide experience-based technical, commercial and regulatory advice in order to allow a Just Transition to a decarbonised, sustainable energy future for Scotland.
Our vision: An environmentally and commercially sustainable energy sector in which Scotland’s energy resources and expertise are best used to provide the people of Scotland with reliable energy at affordable prices.
