ON 28TH APRIL 2019, SCOTLAND BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO DECLARE A CLIMATE EMERGENCY. In the years since, the SNP has made green prosperity a key plank of its governing
programme, putting clean energy and renewable technologies at the heart of Scotland’s economic growth and underlining our determination to deliver on our climate commitments. Here’s all you
need to know about how the SNP is delivering a greener, fairer and wealthier Scotland. A CLEAN ENERGY SUPERPOWER Under the SNP, the Scottish Government is realising its ambition to make
Scotland the world’s first clean energy superpower. That’s why we generated the equivalent of 113% of our electricity consumption from renewable technologies in 2022. From anchoring clean
energy supply chains to investing in cutting edge carbon capture and storage, Scotland is already a top destination for foreign direct investment in key energy sectors and is on track to
lead the world in the shift to a greener economy. And most recently, an electric ‘super highway’ has been approved between Scotland and England, exporting clean energy, creating new and
sustainable jobs, and recognising the key role Scotland’s renewables play in decarbonising the grid. > Electric ‘superhighway’ approved between Scotland and England >

insult to families; especially when failed Westminster economics have brought nothing but stagnation, austerity and flatlining economic growth. Too many families this winter will have to
choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table. And all because the broken system in London puts the wealthy first. > Labour promised to lower energy bills and now in UK
Government > they’ve cut winter fuel payment and today allowed the energy price > cap to go up. Labour austerity is costing us all more. > https://t.co/XQNNynsDbW > > — Neil
Gray MSP (@neilcgray) August 23, 2024 In October, energy bills are set to rise yet again, thanks to regulator Ofgem once more lifting the price cap. Their reasoning is that energy companies
must be allowed to make a profit. Last year, British Gas’s profits increased to £750 million. The decision by Ofgem means the average yearly bill will rise to £1,717. This is nothing short
of scandalous. The SNP is resolute in its commitment to a cleaner, cheaper energy ecosystem in Scotland; that will not only provide electricity from renewable sources and help in the fight
against the climate crisis – it will dramatically lower costs for Scottish families too. > During the election campaign, Labour promised to lower your energy > bill. > > Today,

the climate emergency, Scotland has proudly put its money where its mouth is. That’s why we’ve invested £500 million in a Just Transition Fund. > 🍃 We’re committed to delivering on our

sector to invest in renewable technologies, to cut pollution we need to finance the transition away from fossil fuels and petrol cars. Imagine the change Scotland’s government could make if
it didn’t have to mitigate cruel Labour policies like the Bedroom Tax and the Two-Child Cap. And imagine the potential if we had the full control over our finances and economy that only
comes with independence. A greener, fairer future is possible – and the SNP is determined to deliver it.
