Reflecting on the vast business opportunities and rewards the energy transition could create for Scotland's economy - 40,000 new jobs and an additional £1.5 billion of exports - Scottish Enterprise's Director of Energy Transition, Suzanne Sosna, explains to The Times how we're prioritising our support to help make it a reality. “Energy transition is high-risk, high reward... Scottish Enterprise has a real role to play in mitigating some of that risk and supporting companies so that they can access these opportunities.” 👇 #EnergyTransition #Economy #renewables #supplychain #windpower #tidalenergy #waveenergy

🚨 During WindEnergy Hamburg's and Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC)'s Global Markets Theatre CEO Panel - RWE Offshore Wind's CEO, Sven Utermöhlen explained, "We have ongoing discussions with our partners in the supply chain and pass these considerations on to governments. We urge governments, to get in contact with the supply chain and inform themselves about the challenges." 🤩 GWEC’s policy team is currently at the Global Renewables Summit #GRA24 in New York, where yesterday CEO Ben Backwell chaired a roundtable on that very topic, discussing a resilient and diverse supply chain with politicians, key institutions and key policy makers. 🚀 The #GWEC and Global Renewables Alliance team will deliver a chair’s report developed from the session with recommendations for building resilient and diversified supply chains that support the energy transition in the coming weeks. 📌 Making robust, diverse, and cost-efficient industrial supply chains is essential. Given the global nature of these supply chains, international collaboration is vital to reduce costs, increase deployment, and ensure industry growth. Policymakers and business leaders must innovate to drive progress at local, national, and global levels, ensuring fair distribution of benefits across all economies. 🤝 Thank you to all of the speakers and organisers who contributed to the panel! ➡️ Priya Shankar, Environment Program, Bloomberg Philanthropies ➡️ Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General, World Trade Organization ➡️ Roland Roesch, Director, Innovation and Technology Centre, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) - ⚪️ Bloomberg Philanthropies ⚪️ Global Renewables Alliance ⚪️ World Trade Organization(WTO) ⚪️ Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA)
