Ensuring the energy transition in Shetland delivers more sustainable and equitable prosperity will require close collaboration between government at multiple levels, industry and the community. Various green energy developments are planned, but questions remain about what their impact will be on the Shetland economy and its communities. How can strong supply chains and infrastructure be further developed? How can already constrained resources such as labour and housing be effectively managed? What more needs to be done to ensure the benefits of these developments are fairly distributed?
This session will seek to address these and other crucial questions. Jointly hosted by CEP and the Shetland Islands Council (SIC), the discussion will draw on new research insights and analysis from the Centre for Energy Policy as part of the University of Strathclyde-led Ocean REFuel project and bring together speakers from across key sectors in Shetland.
