answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2024 answer text <p>The renewable energy sector supports economic activity throughout its supply chains and this economic activity supports wage spending across Scotland. According to the Fraser of Allander Institute, a leading think-tank, Scotland’s renewable energy industry and its supply chain supported an estimated 42,000 jobs and contributed over £10.1 billion to the economy in 2021. Scotland's renewables industry continues to contribute significantly to the UK economy, and has a growing role to play as we realise the UK Government’s ambition of becoming a clean energy superpower by 2030. The establishment of GB Energy, publicly owned and headquartered in Scotland, will further support and turbocharge the sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Edinburgh South answering member printed Ian Murray question first answered 24/07/2024 13:05:42 answering member 3966 label Biography information for Ian Murray
