Climate Change Committee report
The Climate Change Committee's published their report, Delivering a Reliable Decarbonised Power System, in early March, at around the same time as our inquiry launch.
The Committee requested that the Scottish Government provide a revised Financial Memorandum at least two weeks prior to the completion of Stage 1, which at the time was scheduled for March 2023. The Stage 1 deadline for the Bill has since been extended and the Committee continues to press for more details of the financial implications to be provided.
The Committee reported to Parliament on 17 March 2023. The report anticipates the possibility of a second supplementary LCM, in which case the Committee would, if the legislative timetable permits, resume scrutiny of relevant aspects of the UK Bill.
