@NetworkRailSCOT@ScotRail Every time it rains at Newtongrange huge amounts of water run down the car park onto track. Are there any plans to sort the drainage?
Ports have a critical role in the energy transition.🚢
Energy Minister @GillianMSP led a delegation of Scottish companies to Esbjerg to identify business opportunities and to see first-hand the developments being made at one of Europe’s largest offshore wind terminals.
Fantastic news that the @energygovuk 's latest renewable auction could see an additional 50MW of tidal stream projects deployed in UK waters by 2028.

A new report by @XodusGroup and Crown Estate Scotland explores the potential of new and existing offshore wind farms to produce green hydrogen. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/zGzufZZOPx

Very sad - he was also an excellent patron of @FairtradeUK, saying it was about putting right some of the poverty he had witnessed as a foreign correspondent.
To fight climate change, France bans domestic flights where cities are linked by train with a journey time of two and a half hours or less. Will mean flights between Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux and Lyons will be shut down.
Is the first country in the world to introduce such a ban.
Our modelling shows how Scotland and the North of England will dominate UK power generation by 2030. Investments in the north-south power grid will be critical.

EnQuest, operator of the Sullom Voe Terminal in Shetland, plans to reduce the size of the facility to reflect “substantially” reduced production rates, and make way for hydrogen opportunities @EnQuestplc#ENQ

Can you help Borders Forest Trust with their most ambitious appeal ever to expand the Wild Heart of Southern Scotland by adding the lands at Ericstane to our existing Corehead site and reuniting both sides of the Devil's Beef Tub? - https://t.co/B9jF8pz90S
The search for Crown Estate Scotland’s next Chair has begun. If you have the qualities to lead an organisation which is at the heart of Scotland’s push for net zero by 2045, now is your moment. RTs very welcome. https://t.co/IrVbyTcDwo #netzero#offshorewind#landreform#chair
@GillianMacMSP Wishing you all the best with this whole campaign Gillian. I didn't really what these were until recently but have pulled about 20 out of my local hedge in last couple of weeks.
As @NationalGridESO asks reserve coal units to warm again, here's a remarkable @OctopusEnergy chart showing effectiveness of the "demand flex service"
It says just 400k customers collectively shifted 200MWh of electricity (ie 200MW plant not needed)
What if everyone took part?
A unique, fully-funded PhD opportunity, to study fish in and around offshore windfarms, applying cutting edge marine sampling methods, deploying surface and submarine drones. Details here: https://t.co/uB10lhGO6Q
Similar scale of opportunity to £29bn Scottish spend commitments from ScotWind projects. Resource competition for sure but also synergies: vessels, ports, hydrogen, marine restoration?
#ScotClimateWeek seems like the perfect time to share the story of our recent trip to Robin Rigg, the first windfarm to operate in Scottish waters, courtesy of @RWE_UK 🌬️⚡️- and to look ahead to the new generation of windfarms coming under ScotWind ➡️https://t.co/DEtFuqtb79
