The OEUK Scotland Manifesto 2026 sets out a clear and practical plan to secure Scotland’s future as a modern industrial nation powered by homegrown energy. It highlights the sector’s impact, including 128,400 Scottish jobs, £24 billion added to the economy in 2024, and the essential role of offshore energy in reducing the UK’s 44 percent import dependency. The manifesto brings together real projects, real people and real policy choices to show how oil and gas, offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture can work together as one integrated system.
This publication outlines the actions required from government and industry to protect critical infrastructure, support skilled workers and unlock investment across Scotland’s energy heartlands. It features landmark examples such as Hywind Scotland, Acorn CCS and the Port of Aberdeen expansion, demonstrating how homegrown energy can drive prosperity, deliver energy security and accelerate decarbonisation without leaving communities behind. The manifesto is essential reading for policymakers, industry leaders and anyone committed to Scotland’s industrial and economic future.
