Part of Portfolio Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:00 pm on 16 January 2025.
As I have said in many answers to similar questions from Conservative members, reserved policy in the area has been a shifting landscape, which has had an impact on some of our responses in our draft energy strategy. We are taking the time to look at that and, as the First Minister mentioned at First Minister’s question time, issues relating to the court cases, which have had an impact.
We want the energy strategy to be fit for purpose, and we are working and have been working very hard on it. We are taking into account all the consultation responses, and the strategy will be published shortly.
