Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
20th September 2014 | News / Petition
Following the Referendum on Scottish Independence, Power For the People and its sister organisation Bring Back British Rail are launching two new campaigns for the Public Ownership of Scotland’s essential services and infrastructure with 38 Degrees:
Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicenergyscotland

We intend to keep the pressure up and utilise the ‘new powers’ promised by the UK Government, to demand the radical changes to Scotland’s energy policy necessary to combat fuel poverty and meet the country’s ambitious 2050 climate change targets.

Public Ownership in Scotland could be the ‘easy win’, which would pave the way for the other parts of the UK to follow suit.
The Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy campaign is supported by:

Switch to public energy today!
Switch to public energy today! The Big Six energy companies supply 95% of all UK households with electricity and gas. But they don't answer to you and me, they answer to their shareholders.
