Question
To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made on establishing a Scottish Energy Networks Group, as outlined in its 2030 vision for Scotland’s electricity and gas networks.
Answer
The Scottish Government continues to engage closely with senior representatives from industry, Government and consumer groups to help achieve our goals as set out in the recently published Networks vision to 2030.
An important part of that engagement will take place through the Energy Networks Group which we aim to have first meeting before the end of the year as part of the revised structure providing support to the Scottish Energy Advisory Board.
We believe that Scotland’s experience makes us well placed to lead on the networks’ role in the energy transition to a net zero economy.
