Welcoming the Energy White Paper published today, ScottishPower Chief Executive José Luis del Valle said:

“It is a considered and comprehensive report. I am pleased to see the Government taking a serious and consultative approach to the major energy issues we face. Government, business and individuals all have an important role to play - particularly when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. As part of Iberdrola – the world leader in renewables – ScottishPower’s investments are helping to shape the future of lower carbon energy use in the UK. There is tremendous potential for the UK to press ahead with measures that meet its low carbon ambitions and address the looming gap in power generation. I look forward to working with the Government to ensure that these measures are as effective as possible.”
