Unlocking a truly Just Transition.
Around 30% of all employment in the North East is in Oil & Gas. A successful Just Transition is important for Scotland's economy, but for Aberdeen City and Shire, it's existential.
Over a number of decades the North East of Scotland has built up a considerable concentration of skills, knowledge and expertise in offshore energy. There is an opportunity for this workforce to be retained and transferred to help Scotland become a global leader in Renewable Energy, but time is running out. 18,000 jobs have already been lost since 2010.
Rail is uniquely positioned to stem the economic decline in the North East by solving transport problems that evidence suggest hold our region back. Thus attracting new investment in diverse industries. If we act now while this skilled workforce remains in the North East, the potential can be unlocked, the 3 keys are:
Scotland's Missing Rail Link
Reconnecting Fraserburgh and Peterhead to the rail network will deliver untold benefits to a cut off region.
Cove Bay and Newtonhill
New Stations for Cove and Newtonhill can connect Aberdeen's Energy Transition Zone to the rail network.
Modern Intercity Links
Upgrades on the main lines to Inverness and the Central Belt will deliver efficiency and wider connectivity.
