How can a homegrown energy transition boost skills and investment in Scotland?

31st August 2024

16:30 – 17:30

Edinburgh International Conference Centre

A homegrown energy transition has the potential to deliver much needed economic growth, support jobs and reduce our reliance on imports and, with the right support, UK offshore energy companies could invest £200 billion in it.

 With time running out to meet Scotland’s net zero target by 2045, this session will explore how Scotland can: unleash its potential as a leader in a homegrown just transition; create an attractive investment environment which facilitates economic growth; and prepare the existing workforce for changes in the energy sector.
