The Strategic environmental assessment of draft Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan is in a new location and has been externed to be open until 22nd May. All responses already collected as part of this consultation will be analysed alongside respones collected in the new survey - there is no need to re-submit any responses that have already been submitted.
To realise our climate change ambitions, we need to transform the way Scotland generates, transports and uses energy. We must seize the huge opportunity this presents and deliver maximum benefits to Scotland’s people, workers, communities and economy from our vast renewable energy resource.
This draft Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan sets out the scale of that opportunity and provides clarity on how Scotland will prepare for a Just Energy Transition.
The draft Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan sets a vision for Scotland's energy system to 2045 and a route map of ambitions and actions that, coupled with detailed sectoral plans and the forthcoming Climate Change Plan, will guide decision-making and policy support over the course of this decade.
We are also consulting on the Strategic Environmental Assessment for the draft Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan. This consultation will be open until 22 May 2023.
Please note that on 3 March 2023 the Scottish Government extended the consultation period for the draft Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan from 4 April 2023 to 9 May 2023. This follows the publication of independent, in-depth analysis of Scotland’s energy requirements. We committed to publish this analysis during the consultation period and the extension will help ensure that everyone has time to consider the findings and engage in the conversation about our future energy system.
This consultation provides an opportunity for communities, workers, citizens and businesses to engage in the process of designing Scotland’s energy transition. In consulting on this draft vision and route map, our purpose is to:
The Scottish Government will review responses to the consultation and the issues raised during engagement with stakeholders to inform development of the final version of the Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan.
