E-FWD Holyrood Special

Thursday 22nd January 2026 17:00 - 19­­­:30 | Holyrood, Edinburgh

E-FWD: Leading the energy conversation is an exclusive Holyrood event, sponsored by Daniel Johnson MSP. Scotland’s energy transition presents a major opportunity to create high-quality jobs, attract inward investment and strengthen regional supply chains – particularly in the Northeast. This event will explore how we can harness those opportunities while ensuring a fair and sustainable transition for workers, communities, and businesses.      While providing a platform to share first hand insights on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, and to engage directly with MSPs on how Parliament can support a just transition that delivers for all parts of Scotland.
