Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will correct and republish Scotland's National Strategy for Economic Transformation, originally published on 1 March 2022, which incorrectly states that Scotland has "a quarter of Europe’s wind potential".
Answer
The Scottish Government has committed to undertake further work to quantify Scotland’s offshore wind potential. We will update Parliament once this work is concluded, and at that point also consider which legacy documents, including the National Strategy for Economic Transformation, may need to be updated.
