A briefing for civil society organisations outlining the risks posed by new gas burning power station at Peterhead.
Short briefing on why this proposal is bad news for our climate, workers and the transition away from fossil fuels.
Demands 1-4 cover some of the nuts and bolts of transition planning: how we utilise skills that already exist in the workforce, skill-up where necessary, create new jobs and open up pathways for existing workers to move across.
Demands 5-7 focus on the working conditions in the North Sea, and what needs to change in the employment rights of workers and the legislation that governs the energy workforce.
Demands 8-10 offer the vision for an energy industry that is owned by, answerable to, and beneficial for the people working in and relying on it.
Our Power’s methodology and lessons learned briefing is a guide for other organisations who are interested in learning how we spoke with offshore oil and gas workers and what it might look like to replicate the process with a different workforce or in a different region.
This manifesto sets out some of the priorities for action that parties should champion in their manifestos, and the policies that should be taken to deliver them.
