ENERGY workers are paying the price for successive Tory and SNP governments with “no plan for the future,” Scottish Labour said today.

Scottish government figures show the number of registered enterprises in the green energy sector has fallen from a peak of 4,155 in 2020 to just 3,420 last year, the lowest tally since 2013.

Scottish Labour’s Sarah Boyak pointed to years of neglect by Westminster Tory and Holyrood SNP governments.
