Recommendation 25

The Energy Supply section of the draft Plan is useful in setting out the Scottish Government's ambitions for renewables, but with insufficient detail on how the Scottish Government proposes to get there, especially in the absence in this Session of an updated energy strategy that could be read alongside it. The Committee asks the Scottish Government to reflect on how this section of the Plan could be strengthened to provide clearer signals to the renewables sector of the specific actions the Scottish Government proposes to take, especially in relation to increasing generation and storage.
