Scottish Government Local Energy Policy Statement (Published 6 th Jan, 2021) Paul Wheelhouse MSP, Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands: “A shift towards more localised energy solutions is a vital part of our journey to a net zero future, with local energy developing alongside, and within, a vibrant national energy network. ”
Scottish Government Local Energy Policy Statement (Published 6 th Jan, 2021) The ten key principles, which fall under five key themes, are as follows. • People • • Undertake early engagement with people who will be involved directly and indirectly. Recognise and tailor support to the different ways people will want to engage. • Places • • Local energy projects should reflect local characteristics. Focus on collaborative strategic approaches and partnership working. • Network and infrastructure • • All activity should provide a high level of security and quality of supply to all, with an emphasis on consideration of existing energy infrastructure first. The design and operation of energy networks should consider the whole energy system while supporting local, regional and national solutions. • Pathway to commercialisation • • Prioritise projects that demonstrate a commercially viable and replicable opportunity, in line with the principle of inclusive growth. Prioritise and act upon ‘low regret’ opportunities that support net zero emissions. • Opportunity • • Local energy projects should seek to support the creation of high value jobs, including the developing of the Scottish supply chain. Any changes to the energy system should ensure a just transition for Scotland’s workforce.
