Scottish Parliament – Sept. 10, 2026 – 2

S7M-01114.5: As an amendment to S7M-01114 in the name of Stephen Gethins (Scotland’s Energy Opportunity), leave out from the first "Scotland's" to end and insert “the most important measure for energy policy is the cost of energy to households and businesses;

recognises the reality that hydrocarbons will remain a critical component of Scotland's energy mix;

endorses the position of renewables playing a complimentary role in the energy mix and not a dominant one, and agrees to a target for nuclear energy output to match renewable energy output by 2050.”

Original motion(S7M-01114): That the Parliament agrees that Scotland’s energy transformation provides a generational opportunity to grow the economy, create more high-quality jobs, strengthen communities across Scotland, and place Scotland at the heart of the solution to Europe’s energy security challenge;

calls on the UK Government to deliver a stable, transparent policy, regulatory and investment environment to enable timely energy deployment in Scotland at scale, and to deepen Scotland's relationship with the rest of Europe on energy, and agrees to work together to accelerate energy deployment and ensure that the full benefits of Scotland’s energy transformation are realised for the people of Scotland.
