Establish a Scottish Energy Development Agency

Common Weal's proposals for a Scottish Energy Development Agency are presented in this paper: https://commonweal.scot/policies/powering-our-ambitions/

The SEDA proposal was ranked top of a list of measures for transitioning to a net zero economy in the New Economics Foundation's 'Re-energising Manufacturing' report. Links and more history here: http://energypovertyresearch.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_15.html

This is not the same as the Scottish Government's plans for a 'public energy agency', our criticisms of which are detailed in our joint consultation response here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L-pZaKNqGghP5i0LwOnhhC0CI2Risfn6/view?usp=sharing

Why the contribution is important

There is a critical need for strategic planning to enable the transition to a net zero economy and tackle fuel poverty .
