The Scottish Affairs Committee of Westminster MPs is due to start its
inquiry into the renewable energy sector in Scotland by taking evidence
tomorrow (24 Feb) from leaders of, among others, E3G, UK Energy Research
Centre and the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation.
Pete Wishart, Chairman of the Scottish Affairs Committee, (and SNP MP for
Perth & North Perthshire) (pictured, left) said: “Scotland can be rightly
proud of its record on renewable energy, as it has surpassed fossil fuels
and nuclear to become our principal electricity source.
“In this session we will be hearing from the association which represents
the industry Scotland, and three other organisations involved with the
renewables sector.
“We will be asking them about the Government’s strategy for supporting the
renewables sector in Scotland, and in particular whether they have any
concerns regarding recent reductions in government subsidy.”
