Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, when he last met with Scottish Power to discuss the future of the former generating station at Longannet.

I am in contact with Scottish Power on a range of issues relating to the UK’s transition to Net Zero. I last met with them in March, at a stakeholder forum hosted by my department, where the topic of clean energy jobs was discussed. The representative from Scottish Power did not raise the future of the former generating station at Longannet but my door is always open to the energy sector in Scotland.
