Select Committee Statement on the First Report of the Scottish Affairs Committee, Clean Power by 2030: A fair deal for Scotland?, HC 164

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

The Scottish Affairs Committee is presenting its first report on whether Scotland will get a fair deal from the UK government's clean energy transition to 2030. The debate will examine how the shift to renewable power affects Scottish jobs, investment, and economic development, particularly in sectors dependent on traditional energy production.

Scotland is the UK's renewable energy powerhouse but faces risks from an accelerated transition: job losses in oil, gas, and coal sectors; questions over whether green investment and manufacturing will land in Scotland rather than elsewhere; and whether Westminster's energy policy adequately supports workers and communities during the shift. This affects millions of Scots and shapes how the rest of the UK views energy devolution.
