Boralex Strengthens its Commitment to Scotland’s Energy Transition at the SNP Annual Conference

As a renewable energy company in the UK, we took part in the Scottish National Party (SNP) Annual Conference — a key moment to engage in meaningful discussions about Scotland’s energy transition and to continue strengthening our leadership in this growth market.

Throughout the event, our team met with MPs, MSPs, and candidates to exchange views on the reforms needed to accelerate renewable energy development and support the country’s Net Zero ambitions.

Engaging in Key Discussions to Drive the Energy Transition

Boralex attended the 2025 SNP Annual Conference, where we held productive one-on-one conversations with political representatives ahead of 2026 Scottish elections.

Reserved matters included TNUoS charging, national pricing reform, the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP), and connections reform — all crucial elements to unlock investment and accelerate the UK’s renewable energy growth.

Supporting Scotland’s Renewable Energy Ambitions

On devolved matters, we emphasized the continued importance of the Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal and addressed existing challenges within the planning system.
