THE Scottish Government’s energy strategy is to be published at least two years late, it has been announced.
The energy strategy and just transition plan was due to be published in spring 2022 but has now been pushed back to next summer.
Former energy secretary Michael Matheson in March last year announced the document would not be published until autumn 2022 and blamed the UK Government for failing to produce its energy security strategy.No reason for the further delay was given in Energy Minister Gillian Martin’s announcement on Thursday.The announcement will be met with dismay from green campaigners who have called on the Scottish Government to pick up the pace on its environmental policies.
"It is disappointing therefore that the current draft energy strategy does little to achieve this and is not much more than a collection of previously announced or initiated policies with little in the way of new, more intensive work or, indeed, much sense of strategic development of the policies to understand how the policies interact with each other .
“The consultation confirmed broad support for our vision and highlighted the importance of providing policy certainty to enable investment in skills, infrastructure and technologies.
