Morag Watson, Director of Policy at Scottish Renewables, said: “We welcome the Scottish Government’s commitment to local energy systems which link the supply and demand of electricity, heat and transport to support the growth of vibrant, net-zero local economies.
“Renewable energy must lie at the heart of our transition to a decentralised and decarbonised energy system and Scotland’s renewable energy sector is already delivering locally-relevant energy solutions across the country.
“Scotland’s renewable energy sector will continue to engage to support the achievement of Scotland’s net-zero target and sustain its position at the forefront of the global clean energy industry, and this consultation is a step in that process.”
