Strategic approach to energy
Developing an
overarching energy
strategy building on
Heat Policy
Statement, Electricity
Generation Policy
statement and
Community Energy
Strategy.
- system view
- decarbonising
energy system
- local energy
approach
Developing the Third
Report on Proposals
and Policies (RPP3) to
2032.
RPP3 will be
underpinned by our
new detailed energy
and environmental
model for Scotland
Continue to be guided
by the transformational
outcomes set out in the
Scottish Government’s
Climate Change
Delivery Plan (2009)
including a largely decarbonised heat sector
by 2050 with significant
progress by 2030
