High energy costs are a major burden on businesses across Scotland.

More details

With independence, Scotland could build a modern energy system that supports both people and businesses. Lower energy costs would give manufacturers, tech firms, and food producers a clear competitive advantage. At the same time, communities would benefit from fairer prices, better infrastructure, and reinvestment rather than funding shareholder dividends.

In short, Scotland’s energy future isn’t just about affordability, it’s about economic strength, business opportunity, and national resilience. Independence gives us the tools to turn Scotland’s energy wealth into shared prosperity.
