• To provide a statement that encourages the involvement of all stakeholders; • To provide a clear context for the work of the Scottish Government and its partners in policy development and delivery; and • To encourage increased levels of innovation and investment in energy related projects in Scotland. This document does not seek to repeat detailed information available elsewhere. However in the interests of continuity and completeness references are given at the end. 2. Desired outcomes The Scottish Government's purpose is To focus government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth 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. Scotland is particularly well equipped as far as energy is concerned with fossil fuels and renewables in abundance and the skills, expertise and infrastructure to exploit these resources. The main objective as far as Energy is concerned is to progressively increase the generation of renewable and clean energy, to migrate Scotland away from a dependence on nuclear energy. The secondary goal is to increase the overall impact of energy generation and related activity such that Scotland not only maximises energy exports but also maximises the retention of wealth from that activity and also from the development of skills, intellectual property rights and manufactured products.
