Scottish Energy Advisory Board
Overview
The Scottish Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) was established in 2009 and acts as a forum for driving progress towards the Scottish Government’s priorities of tackling the climate emergency and growing the economy.
Central to the operation of the Board is a private and public sector partnership which is dedicated to understanding the issues facing Scotland’s energy sector; clearly vocalising the Scottish view on these issues; and focussing on outcomes for the people and industry of Scotland. The Board will also have regard to maximising the benefits of the energy transition to the people and communities of Scotland.
The SEAB is chaired by the First Minister and Professor Sir Jim McDonald, and meets regularly.
