SNP Conference votes overwhelmingly to establish a Scottish Energy Development Agency
EPRi is proud to be working with Common Weal and others to establish a Scottish Energy Development Agency, and the SEDA has now become the fifth of Common Weal's key policies for a fairer Scotland to be adopted by the SNP. See our media release here: https://www.commonspace.scot/articles/14806/developing-energy
And our podcast here: https://commonweal.scot/common-weal-policy-podcast-episode-18
Huge thanks to Agnes McAuley at the Greenock and Inverclyde branch, Ronnie Cowan MP. Stuart McMillan MSP, and Chris Hanlon of the Trades Union group.
We'll use this page to keep you updated on progress and opportunities to help, but in the meantime please check out our original Powering Our Ambitions policy paper, which sets out the case for the SEDA, and our Just Warmth and Carbon-free, Poverty-free papers, which set out why the SEDA is needed to develop sustainable district heating networks and tackle the problem of lifting off gas-grid households out of fuel poverty. And there's even more in Common Weal's policy library.
Please check back here for updates, and please get in touch if there's anything you can do to help us with the hard work that now lies ahead 😀

Those of you with an eye on Scottish politics may be aware that there have been a few changes in the SNP over the weekend 😊 We'd like to congratulate all those involved, particularly Craig Berry and Rory Steel of the SNP Common Weal Group.
