The UK Government has UK become first G7 country to agree a landmark deal to support the oil and gas industry’s transition to a low-carbon future.

Responding, Scottish Renewables’ CEO Claire Mack said:

“This Deal underlines both the irreversible nature of the energy path we are on, and the key role that renewable companies have to play in leading a rapid transition in the North Sea. Further investment in floating offshore wind is welcome and will help secure the UK’s leading position in this market.

“Together with the recent Offshore Wind Sector Deal, it’s clear that the economic and environmental future of the UK must be as a global leader in clean energy.”
