The Scottish Government is looking forward to seeing the Energy Skills Passport develop further as soon as possible, providing more options and pathways for workers to transition between sectors.

The Energy Skills Passport is an industry-led project, with Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and RenewableUK (RUK) as the lead bodies. Decisions on the timings for “phase 2” of the initiative is, therefore, a matter for those bodies and the associated Steering Group, which also includes representation from employers, training bodies and trade unions. Success during “phase 2” of the Passport will require it to be fully supported from a range of bodies, including UK Government.

The Scottish Government continues to support an industry-led approach to the development of the Passport which promotes collaborative working across energy sectors and also between trade bodies, employers, training bodies and trade unions.

The Energy Skills Passport received Scottish Government funding via the Just Transition Fund for the North East and Moray over the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24. In total, £3,703,610 was drawn down. A breakdown of spend in the relevant financial years is provided in the following table:
