The EIC supports the Scottish Energy Pledge, led by Scottish Renewables, joining organisations from across Scotland’s energy, business, finance, ports, skills and supply chain communities.
Launched ahead of the Scottish Parliament election on May 7, the pledge calls for a coherent energy strategy that backs domestic energy production, advanced manufacturing, regional regeneration and the infrastructure needed to strengthen Scotland’s energy security.
We are signing alongside organisations including Offshore Energies UK, Scottish Financial Enterprise, Prosper, Scottish Chambers of Commerce, GMB Union, Federation of Small Businesses Scotland, OPITO, Net Zero Technology Centre and the Port of Aberdeen.
The message of this pledge means a lot to our members. They are supply chain companies that work across energy sectors and come in all sizes, but many are SMEs. They need stable policy, clear investment signals, grid capacity and a strong project pipeline if they are to plan, hire, invest and deliver.
Scotland has strong assets across offshore wind, ports, skills, manufacturing, oil and gas capability, grid and wider clean energy development. The priority now is making sure those strengths are backed by the practical conditions needed to keep work moving and local economies benefiting.
A resilient energy system will not be built by one part of the industry alone. It needs coordination across generation, infrastructure, communities, industry and the supply chain. And this is why the EIC supports the pledge.
