A more integrated and holistic approach to safeguarding the overall energy industry would yield greater benefits for Scotland’s energy future. With a significant pipeline of projects expected to come online in the 2030s, it is crucial that government support ensures smoother, faster permitting processes, strengthens the readiness of ports, vessels, and turbine manufacturers, and encourages partnerships between developers and the supply chain. Targeted incentives will attract investment and enable the supply chain to meet these ambitious goals. Finally, a modernised and expanded grid is essential to unlock the full potential of Scotland’s renewable energy ambitions. The EIC is committed to working with the government and industry to make this vision a reality.
