Scotland can be a world leader in clean energy

Scotland has been held back by missed opportunities and a lack of strategic planning.

The SNP government once promised Scotland would become the Saudi Arabia of renewables’ The transition offered by projects like ScotWind has been squandered, with the revenue generated used to fill budget gaps rather than invest in infrastructure.

The number of active energy businesses in Scotland is now at a ten-year low.

Scottish Labour will lead this transformation, ensuring that this comprehensive strategy results in shared prosperity across Scotland .

A Scottish Labour government will expand this vision to industrial sites, where we must make it financially viable for businesses to invest in energy-efficient infrastructure.

We need to look at how we can provide the necessary support that incentivises companies to modernise their operations in ways that benefit the environment and their bottom line.
