Recommendation 11
11
North Sea energy transition plan urgently required but progress remains slow.
Conclusion
A coherent transition plan for the North Sea is urgently needed. While we recognise that the Government has been in power for 15 months, plans are not yet in place and the transition is already well underway. The Government’s consultation, Building the North Sea’s Energy Future, which commits to producing a plan in dialogue with industry, trade unions and communities, is a welcome start but is moving too slowly. (Conclusion, Paragraph 89)
