What does Labour's general election victory mean for Scotland's role in helping the UK meet its net zero goals? Hydrock, now Stanec's Josh Bullard looks at what needs to be on the agenda for Keir Starmer: “A Labour victory marks a significant change for the UK, particularly with the Party’s notable gains in Scotland, where the Scottish National Party has governed for 17 years. “While considerable progress in grid decarbonisation has been made, Labour’s majority now necessitates some serious thinking about Scotland’s role in the UK's pathway to net zero. Scotland is the UK’s powerhouse for clean energy, with offshore wind being particularly significant. Keir Starmer's plan should aim to maximise Scotland's energy potential for the benefit of the entire UK, alleviating pressure on the grid to facilitate housing, infrastructure, and our increasingly technology-led lives. “Upgrading the grid, however, isn’t just about integrating wind turbines and solar panels; electrifying heat is a pivotal step for decarbonising our economy. To achieve this, we should prioritise decentralised heat networks. Despite its extensive renewable electricity generation, Scotland has the lowest share of heat supplied by renewable sources in Europe, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive approach in the UK. “If Starmer is serious about achieving net zero by 2030, then he must prioritise capturing and distributing Scotland's renewable energy more effectively than previous governments. This demands significant long-term investment and planning, which cannot be delayed any longer. The formation of Great British Energy is hopefully the first stepping stone in this process.” See Josh's comments in BE News' roundup of industry reaction to the election result: https://lnkd.in/emhGaqjb #election #netzero #decarbonisation

Support isn't going far enough, argues Scott Elliott. Read the full article below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eWT6bcbG #BSA #decarbonisation #highereducation #manifesto #election
