Meeting description: During the meeting we set out how ScottishPower is leading the way to push for government intervention to help consumers through the cost of living crisis while also doing everything we can as a business to help our most vulnerable customers. We highlighted the need to transform the energy market so that there is not a reliance on volatile wholesale gas prices and move towards a decarbonised system; deal with the immediate cost issue here and now work to separate gas and electricity prices and get on with building even more cheap clean and homegrown renewable electricity as a way of not being beholden to others for this. We also informed the Member that ScottishPower is recruiting 1000 new jobs in 2023 as well as also noting our ScotWind projects and the role they will play in Net Zero skills and the wider economy.
