Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the final Solar Vision and draft Bioenergy Policy Statement will be published.
Answer
Following the Scottish Government’s announcement of the proposed solar deployment ambition for Scotland in October, we are now working with industry and community stakeholders to agree a suitable level of community benefit for large scale solar projects. As a result, we will now publish our final Solar Vision with the Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan in Summer 2024.
We intend to publish the draft Bioenergy Policy Statement for consultation in the new year, and before the end of February 2024.
