Scotland’s climate change adaptation framework: Energy
This report was published on 8th December 2009.
“This provides an overview of key issues in adapting to the consequences of climate change for this sector. Actions outlined in this summary provide an indication of the broad range of work planned over the coming years to strengthen resilience of this sector to the impacts of climate change. These actions are an illustration rather than an exhaustive list.”

This report was published on 6th July 2009.
“An Acton Plan that sets out what needs to happen and by when to meet the Scottish Government’s Renewable Energy targets, with a focus on the next 24-36 months.”
Energy Markets Outlook 2008
The Department of Energy and Climate Change issued this report yesterday. It is intended to set out the nature and potential of the options that are available to the UK energy market.
“The first result of problems with supply, however caused, is likely to be a jump in the price as the market responds, rather than physical interruptions to supply. Such price increases are costly for consumers, but actual supply interruptions have greater costs – forcing 10% of gas demand off the system involuntarily could cost the economy £300m a day.”
Ofgem: Energy Supply Probe – Initial Findings Report
Ofgem, the UK’s energy watchdog, issued this report today which examines the energy market in the UK.
“Concerns have been expressed about the operation of Great Britain’s gas and electricity retail supply markets for domestic and small business consumers. These concerns are heightened by recent price increases, caused by hikes in global fuel prices. It is even more important that retail markets work well when prices are as high as they are now.”
Energy Policy: An Overview
The Scottish Government issued this document recently which outlines their approach to energy policy.
“Energy policy can contribute to economic growth while at the same time helping ensure that growth is sustainable. Energy use is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions, emissions which threaten the sustainability of our planet. However, it is clear that there is an opportunity to exploit Scotland’s comparative advantage in energy resources while meeting the carbon challenge.”
Scottish Hydropower Resource Study: Final Report
The Forum for Renewable Energy Development issued this report recently which states that Scotland could produce enough new hydro-electricity to power a quarter of the nation’s homes.
“The study has demonstrated that not only is there a greater hydro resource in Scotland than has been commonly recognised, but that market forces have a stronger influence on the national hydropower resource than most of the values and thresholds that are within the Government’s control.”
But where will we get all the water from?

Oh right.
Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2008
The UK Government’s Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform published the annual Energy Statistics Report this week.
“The Digest provides essential information for everyone, from economists to environmentalists and from energy suppliers to energy users.
The Digest contains extensive tables, charts and commentary covering all the major aspects of energy, including separate sections on petroleum, gas, coal and electricity. It provides a detailed and comprehensive picture of energy production and use over the last five years, with key series taken back to 1970.”
