How can Scotland’s energy work for Scotland?
The SNP is clear: we must realise Scotland’s extraordinary natural resources and power on with renewables. We are committed to capitalising on our natural resources and pursuing a green reindustrialisation of Scotland.
How will independence bring down energy bills?
Scotland is an energy-rich country. Yet, under Westminster, families are being forced to pay among the highest electricity prices in Europe – the price Scotland pays because of Westminster control over our energy.
What is the SNP’s position on nuclear energy?
The SNP will not give the green light to nuclear power stations in Scotland. The expansion of Scotland’s clean, renewable energy sector is one of the greatest export opportunities Scotland will ever have without the expense or waste of nuclear.
How is the SNP supporting renewable energy?
Scotland has, in abundance, one of the largest concentrations of offshore engineering expertise in the world that can harness Scotland’s renewable energy potential in technologies like wind, wave and tidal power, to produce green hydrogen.
