The renewable economy opportunity in Scotland - with Deloitte
Institute Director Professor Mairi Spowage speaks with Claire Mack (CEO of Scottish Renewables) and Susan McDonald (Energy Transition Lead at Deloitte) about Scotland’s renewables economy—where it is, what’s working, and what needs to change. They discuss headline growth in jobs (around 47,000) and sector output (about £15.5bn), the shift from onshore to offshore wind, and why policy certainty and investor confidence matter as much as funding. The conversation explores place-based opportunities from Inverness and Ardrishaig to Shetland’s Viking wind project, the centrality of grids and supply chains, and the importance of bringing communities—and their skills—along on the journey.
