A cross-party group of MSPs has urged the Scottish Government to put its words on solar energy deployment into action by removing “outdated” policy barriers.
The group of MSPs from all five of the Scottish Parliament’s parties have co-signed a letter to Energy Secretary Michael Matheson to call on the government to work with industry experts to remove legacy planning barriers.
The intervention follows a debate in the Scottish Parliament last month where all parties expressed their support for the solar industry in Scotland, but flagged a range of concerns which are holding the industry back.
